These were taken months ago and I just got around to finishing them up.  Evelyn is a co-worker of Keri and I.  She was approached by a friend of hers asking if she’d like to get into modeling.  Evi, being as modest as she is beautiful, was very reluctant to do it but after some convincing from friends and her husband she decided to look into head shots.

This is where I came in.  I had never done true headshots before- just kid portraits (this shoot happened before the “Glow Atl” photos you can see a few entries down), so this was a freebie for a good friend.

In fact, I think I was paid in taco bell and asthma attacks.  An odd combination I know, but we did the shoot at Evi and Nathan’s house in Buford.  I can usually control my allergies to her cats by taking Claratin and staying away, but when I get into “photographer mode” I move quick.  Moving quick leads to sweating, hightened heart rate, and increased breathing… which leads to increased allergies apparently.  Had to take a few breaks throughout the day- one of which for taco bell.

Without further ado, here is Evelyn.   Remember to click on the individual photos to get the full effect.  And don’t worry, she’s fully clothed in all of the photos-  just some creative angles.

Nothing ground breaking here, just wanted to post some of my favorite photos from 4th of July weekend in Bowling Green KY.  It’s late, I know, but I want the world (or my 3 friends) to see them. 

These are from the world famous Corvette Museum.  AKA: The only thing in Bowling Green, KY.

These photos are from Labor Day weekend at the lake house up in Blairsville.   My sister brought her new brother and sister-in-law, who brought the latest addition to the Bassett family.  Or maybe I should say Addy-tion.  Or maybe that’s too cheesy.  Let’s not say that. 

Addy was a treat to play with and photograph.  She was so laid back and only cried once the whole day.  We took these photos with my trusty 50mm f/1.8 by natural window light, on the back porch, and in the hammock with daddy.  All in all cute pics of a cute baby.
