I loved this senior session.  The weather was perfect, the lighting was fantastic, and Emily wasn't afraid to live on the edge a little.  Before we were all said and done I was shooting her as she was standing barefoot in the river in a sundress holding an umbrella - using my assistant as a human tripod!  It just doesn't get any better than that for a photographer.  I only wish we'd come up with the idea 15 minutes sooner before the sun set.  It was a little dim to be handholding things, and I just didn't like the way the flash was changing the reflections in the water - so Ashley literally stepped in (to the river mud where I was standing) to act as my support.  I'm still fiddling with the image to get it just the way I want it, so it's not posted here but Emily was a joy to photograph. 

I love this shot - almost as much as I loved her shoes. 

When Emily is not in school studying for senior year, working, being athletic at sports, or competing in the Miss Teen Pennsylvania contest later this year - she leads guided tours of the Kiski River.  Talk about multi-talented.
