My fabulous friend Ali was such a great sport as she posed in the afternoon heat. Using two flashes, one on camera and one off, I experimented. My main goal being not to overexpose my background, I'd say I succeeded.
This last image does have some hot spots but Ali looked so sweet I decided not to hold it against myself.
I love reading Elle magazine and am always inspired by their photography, it's so fresh and beautiful! I decided to try something new, so I borrowed Brittany for a quick shoot. 
With the late afternoon sun, these images embody the Hill Country summers I just can't get enough of. Hard to believe this young lady just finished the 8 grade!
