She almost doesn’t look cold

I’ve taken so many photos of kiddies this fall, that it was really fun to take photos of an adult recently. This is my friend and work buddy Chelle, who is one of those people you are always glad to have around.  Chelle is helpful, thoughtful, kind and upbeat—and now I can add “extremely patient” to that list!

We were outside taking photos of boats, the temperature was a very unseasonable 29-ish degrees, the wind was whipping off the water and yet she let me muddle around with backlighting and sidelighting and didn’t even shiver on camera while I took advantage of the gorgeous late-day light and her beautiful smile.

I can’t choose my favorite for Best Shot Monday, so I’ll let you decide. For more beautiful smiles, go to Best Shot Monday at Tracey’s.
