Thank you very much for choosing my photo for a Mark of Excellence! I am constantly in awe of the amazing talent represented on this site! My name is Lucinda Blenis.
This photo is from a session I did for a friend. Believe it or not, the shoot was scheduled for formal pics for her daughter's first communion. The location was at their family farm in N.E. Penn. I shot about 30-40 photos of "Katie" in her white dress and then during a break, she strolled up the lane with her dog, wearing an old cowboy hat, jean shorts and boots! We had a great time in the tall grass with dogs, horses, goats and tractors!
I took over 500 photos that day. This was one of my favorites. I always say, "Great portraits are the ones that show up in between the ones people are posing for!"
This photo was taken with a Canon T1i with its "straight out of the box" 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens. It was cropped and converted to sepia post- process.
