Gloria .... in a 'senior' moment!

A dear, sweet friend ... a beautiful summer day in the country ... and my camera = Gloria's Senior Session . 2011!  I must be honest and say, that this was my very first senior portrait session and I have to admit, I was just a bit nervous, but Gloria's kind spirit along with her bubbly personality, truly made it a joy!  We have known her family for quite sometime ... fifteen years to be exact, and I've watched her grow into a beautiful young lady.  Needless to say, I was very blessed that she had asked me to take these pictures for her.  Senior portraits are pretty important these days, and I prayed that she would be happy with them ... and, thankfully, she was!  The session went very well, with her mom and sisters along for ideas, and encouragement.  Gloria was a perfect 'subject' and as you will see, besides having the prettiest eyes, and smile, her hair was stunning!  Blonde and beautiful!  They live on a country road, and the setting was perfect!  Here are a few of my favorites .....

Well, there, you have it ... the session was almost over, and Gloria had just about run out of steam ... it was a very humid day, but she did have one perfect expression left!  Now, I do believe this one reminds me of a picture from an old, black and white, silent movie!  Ya think?! Lol!! 

And, finally ... these were the three adorable ladies I was so blessed to spend that afternoon with ... Hope, Mercy, and Gloria.  Thank you, ladies, for making my first senior photo shoot a success ... I couldn't have done it without you! 

You'll be seeing more of these ladies as time goes on!  I do want to thank you for dropping in ... it's such an encouragement to have you visit, and to read your comments!  Hope your weekend is blessed!  xoxo
