Next year I want to practice more on lighting and taking photos of people. My friend’s daughter, Heather, agreed to let me take some photos for practice. She’s such a beautiful girl and a natural in front of the camera. We had fun this afternoon taking photos. These are just a few of the photos I took. I will be working on the other 80 later. 🙂
Thank you, Heather.

Through My Lens 
I like these as much as the first set. Maybe better. I especially like the last one.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you, Francine. She is a very photogenic young lady – it was hard to decide which ones to post.
Very nice subject and photos.
Thank you, Judy.
Wow I like what you have done… a professional photographer rises up… Happy New Year….
Thank you, Rob. I hope you have a Happy New Year too. Sounds like you’re still out on your adventure.
Happy New Year !!!
Thank you. Happy New Year to you, too.
I really like the last one, but wish there was more color in her face. Good luck with your portraiture in 2013 🙂
Thank you, David. I’m still practicing on my lighting and getting what I want. I will keep working on it and Heather has agreed to keep modeling for me . . . until she leaves for college in the fall.
Yes! Keep playing :). If you want to find other models that will trade their time for images, check out modelmayhem.com.
Wonderful portraits, Maralee. You’ve done a great job!
Thank you, Carissa. But I have to give a lot of credit to the subject. I don’t think she can take a bad photo.
Don’t sell yourself short! She’s lit and posed nicely!
Maralee, what a finish of you 365 … photo days. Stunning beautiful young woman … The last one is my favorite – because her features – I can drown in those eyes. Wonderful job.
Thank you, Viveka. She is a beautiful young lady. We had fun taking the photos.
She’s very beautiful, and the photos are lovely. 🙂
Thank you very much.
