Behind the Lens: Jamaica Plain Portrait Shoot, Part II

This weekend, I also dragged the very lovely G from Cambridge to my neighborhood for my Jamaica Pond shoot.

Unlike me, who wouldn't voluntarily go hiking any place except for the mall, G is an up-for-anything nature girl.  She just got back from a two-day kayaking trip down the Mississippi River to benefit the Friends of the Mississippi.

Since she's a bona fide tree-hugger (she went to Forestry School after all), it seemed only natural -- no pun intended -- to shoot her frolicking amongst our urban forest.

But this nature girl is capable of some spectacular ANTM-style modeling as well.  Check out that full-on Tyra pose she's rocking standing on the rowboat (appropriately named Queen "B") below.

Our photo session took place on a dark and cloudy day, so I didn't quite catch the "magic hour" light I'd been hoping for.  But I love how the photos turned out, and I'm excited to keep learning how to work with light, posing, and composition.

Thanks for coming along with me on this educational journey!
