Day 4 of "Prizewinning Photography"

This is one of our instructors Peter Pallock. Peter was so great :D

And here is the amazing-one-of-my-favorite-photographers Jessica Shae Garner!!! Jessica's work always inspires me to become a better photographer :) If you've never seen her work, go see it NOW!! Her pictures are so lovely, and so is she :) And she's a follower of Christ which makes it a bajillion times more awesome!! Christian photographers make me happy :). Anyway, back to where she comes into play :D
Jessica was going to be in town, so she offered to stop by our class photo shoot at the arboretum! Mandy used her as a model so she could demonstrate what a portrait shoot is like. And, of course, Jessica rocked at it :D

Here's Mandy giving us instructions before we go inside :)

Hooray for bokeh!!

Taking notes while Rob demonstrated how to go about doing a family photo session (the Holdemans were the family).

Jessica took our group picture! :D

Hannah looking lovely :D

Here I practiced using a reflector for a portrait.

Faith's beautiful face :D

And this is the sweet-hearted Hannah Royal :) And, as you can see, she has a sweet face to go right along with it :D.

Heather, your hair is so awesome!

As well as your FACE! :D (and, no, this is not one of those "your face!" jokes; I really mean her face is awesome!)

And this is Conner Bennett; one of the three guys in the class. Haha. They took it well :D
