Wanting to be more like my local photographic idols Todd and Barabara I agreed to take some senior photos of Kim's daughter Amanda. I'm not very good a posing people and have discovered that, as useful as they are in everyday life, hands can be a huge distraction that nobody knows what to do with in portraits. Thankfully, having a cute subject is an easy way to hide the flaws in my own photographic abilities.
first shot, cute and simple

next shots, with a prop

Last shot, direct sunlight
