Just returned from being in Chicago for a week. Being away really makes me restless to come back. It seems that I always have an influx of ideas and creativity when I am gone... maybe because I can't act on anything, so my mind likes to torture me...haha..
Anyway...
I recently had the chance to work with Olivia, who is a senior this coming year. What an amazing shoot we had!! I have sooo sooooooo many images to complete, but wanted to put my favorites online so she and her wonderful mom can see a preview * hi Olivia! ;) *
Here she is; isn't she just STUNNING!?!
Can I tell you how much fun I have photographing seniors? I just adore it! I have a whole weeks worth of seniors to post in the next few entries, so stay tuned!
I also wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful comments that I receive on my blog... it really means the world to me.

Seriously, Brianna! Could you BE any better?! Sheesh! These are just stunning . . . going to haunt me for a while, I think!
And ditto everyone's questions about the textures, borders and PS treatments you did here!

...wow...
It is amazing too, how just a different turn of the head and/or expression can make the whole picture, yeah?
Looks like you had a lot of fun! Keep 'em coming!

Hi Brianna,
I love your effects, what software do you use?
Thanks!

These are just fab. You have really excelled with your texture treatment of the first and the fourth too. Presented such contemporary pics with what is really quite a vintage look. and of course it helps just a tad that you had a half-decent model eh!!!

As I look at my daughter in the photos I find it difficult to adequately express my love and sincere appreciation for all the work you did for us. She LOOKS UNBELIEVABLE! You have an amazing ability to capture the absolute best in people through the eye of the camera, "A TRUE ARTIST!" Thank you for making this once in a lifetime event unforgettable. I look forward to working together in the future.

Hi Brianna-
Love those images! Did you use any sort of actions to get the effects? If so, can I ask where you got them?
Thanks!

Absolutely stunning. I just recently found out about your work and I am absolutely stunned by it. Gorgeous.
Post processing on these photos is amazing--it gives them such a glamorous look, and, of course, your model is just beautiful.
What kind of textures and blend modes did you use for these?

Wonderful shots and I love the textures!
