There is a "pace"
that's just right, by which I mean how often should I be
hosting photography sessions. I strongly prefer to
finish "processing" one session before undertaking
the next. By "processing", I mean hosting
the session itself, editing all the images (and yes, I edit
all the images, putting together a quick preview
page for the model, drafting these permanent pages, giving
the model a few days to review them, and finally linking
the revised pages into this web site. That takes time.
If the "pace"
is right, I get to think about the last photo session before
undertaking the next one. If I don't host a session
for a while, I find that I fall back on old concepts, to
get the ball rolling. If I host too many sessions
in a little while, I don't think about new concepts to try.
If I'm not distracted by real life, that translates to about
10 sessions per year.
Melissa's
session was the fourth sessions in about a month (along
with Sarah,
Keira, and
Betzu).
That's too much!
But Melissa
was great. She really took to the "Getting Started"
concept, and I was tired of my standard setups, so we decided
to try something that I haven't tried before -- the concept
on this page. Melissa was just perfect for this concept:
she's playful & saucy.
A new
concept deserves a new presentation. I will not intersperse
comments -- this is a sequence of images. I'll reserve
comments to the end. Enjoy.
