Thanks, Jeffery.

I don't know why, but I was always intrigued by somber photos, and I guess that comes out in my work. I do like the idea of getting a range of moods in every session.

But, I can see why it might not be for everyone. Glad you liked the more upbeat ones, though. Thanks again. :)

These are nice Walt though the ones with her smiling are the better ones of the bunch. The other ones she seems either really bored, really depressed or just sad.

I woke up today with an itch to take some photos and decided, what the hell -- I'll see if I can find someone to pose for me. So, I updated my Facebook status to see if anyone might be interested. Shortly thereafter, I got a response from a friend of mine who's been telling me for quite a while that she wants me to photograph her daughter. She was ready to get it underway
within two hours, but I told her I had to make some arrangements with a
friend of mine to see if I could use his place to take some shots and that we ought to shoot for the early afternoon, just to give him a little bit of notice. I called, he agreed, and we all went out there and started shooting. This is the product after my initial run-through of the more easily workable
shots:

All shot with the K-5 and F50/1.7 with my recently purchased flash unit
attached. I didn't bother with any wireless stuff as I wanted to play it safe and didn't want any big surprises. Also, I didn't realize until I got home that I'd had the diffuser in my pocket the whole time. So, some of the shots came out a tad harsh, but overall, I have to say I'm pretty pleased with what I was able to do. All shots were done hand-held with manual flash.

Comments appreciated.

Thanks!
