Senior Portrait

My cousin Ashley from Michigan asked me to shoot her senior portraits like a year ago. We finally were in the same state last week so we along with my sister, aunt, grandmother, and baby cousin ventured out for the shoot. Me and my sister scouted out a couple pretty spots beforehand and then met them about an hour before sunset. I had minimal equipment considering all the fancy toys I've grown accustomed to belonged to the Athens Banner-Herald. The night before I constructed a mini softbox out of a frosted mini wheats cereal box coated in black duct tape and some white fabric. I used that along with a silver "reflector" that also conveniently doubles as a windshield sunshade. All and all I think it went okay despite the fact that my D300 shutter is about 95% blown. Luckily my sister has a D90 which I used.
This was my first time shooting in about a month and a half. I have to say I've really been surprised that I don't miss it. At all. I anticipate seeking out more shooting opportunities once my life has completely settled down and the itch for a creative adventure sets in. Also obviously I need to send my camera off for repair. For now however, I'm loving my desk job.
