We went out at high noon, and because we were both getting ready to head out for the day, neither of us had much time.

It was definitely a good exercise in looking for the best available light, and it was the first time I really took advantage of the live preview mode on my XSi. I wanted a really soft background, but I can't really trust my auto focus on any aperture wider than f2.8. I loved being able to see exactly where I the focal point was.

Elizabeth was telling me today that she never got to have senior pictures, so I told her that these could be hers — only three years late.

I really like the depth in this picture...awesome, Brandon...just awesome
Did you use photoshop in the second picture to make her look just like a younger version of Mina?
I think the first picture really captures her personality.
