The eternal nerd in me loves being a student again. The over-achiever in me loves that I have excelled on the first two unit tests and received praise for my first two photo project submissions in my Intensive Portraiture Course. Sometimes you just have to toot your own horn if it makes you happy, right? All joking aside, I'm surprised to find that I am already halfway finished with my course. The focus of the second assigned photo project was different poses. I am including the images of the required five poses below:
 |
| "Full Face" -- straight on, both eyes and ears visible, looking straight at the camera. |
 |
| "Profile" -- not much more to be said about that (except-- doesn't she have the cutest, little nose?!). |
 |
| "Full Length"-- Entire body from head to toe. |
 |
| "3/4 Length" -- above the knees to the top of the head |
 |
"3/4 Face" -- both eyes visible, one ear visible, one ear hidden from view
and the nose not protruding outside the line of the cheek. |
So, those were my five assigned photos. The only one I should have chosen differently was the 3/4 Face pose. Technically, as my advisor pointed out, Emalie's head is more tilted than turned. Perhaps the one below would have been a better submission for this requirement.

You can pretty much assume that I took more than five photos to capture the ones I felt were sufficient for submission to my advisor. I won't admit how many I did take, but trust me it was a lot! I enjoyed spending a sunny, spring-like afternoon with Emalie. Emalie enjoyed having my full attention, too. Here are some of my favorites from our time together:
Oh, what a girl... so full of laughter and love. Such a special helper with mommy's homework!
