This is Carrie. She is 29 years old and is a Occupational Therapist. I wanted to take some images of her wrapped in a flag because she reminds me of an All-American Girl. Also her boyfrined is in the military and is to be shipped to Iraq in mid March. She wanted to give these to him as a gift before he left. A great girl to photograph with a happy personality to match.

This was shot using only natural light in my garage. The cement driveway acts as a terrific reflector. I used a fan and a bit of a slow shutter....on the edge of being to slow...to get a dreamy effect with her hair.

This is good work, however, the skin and eyes feel a little too Neat Imaged for me.

You do amazing work with natural lighting. I need to learn how. The wind swept hair is a great element in this.

Beautiful portrait. I like the colors and the softness (and you are on the right side of that edge of a "too-slow" shutter).
