			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-288" title="Big Smile" src="http://www.timbrya.com/wp-content/Big-Smile-200x150.jpg" alt="Big Smile" width="176" height="132" />Mechell is the daughter of one of my closest friends, Sanna. One of the fun parts of shooting Mechell&#8217;s pictures is, once in a while I was taken aback, by seeing her mother in the lens. Sanna and I  have been friends since, we&#8217;ll just say, a few years back, when she and I were the same age as Mechell. All it took was a certain smile or glance and there she was, my friend Sanna. Each Senior Picture Package includes 2-hours on location, so we headed out to Allerton Park for the afternoon and Mechell took right to the camera.  With Senior Pictures I love to spend time with each subject to not only find numerous poses, but to find that sense of ease, where the true personality starts to shine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-289 alignleft" title="Turn n Look w scarf" src="http://www.timbrya.com/wp-content/Turn-n-Look-w-scarf-375x300.jpg" alt="Turn n Look w scarf" width="176" height="144" />Mechell came prepared with a wardrobe change and Mom had a couple ideas to share too. This really helps in the end as all the expectations were discussed, and I believe, met. Sanna wanted a certain look, Mechell walking away from the camera, her little girl growing up, and Allerton has some nice country lanes to work with. We worked at it for a couple hours and came up with many great looks and feelings in her pictures. This is my goal with any Senior Picture, take that time needed, get comfortable, have fun, and leave each client with more than just one pose to choose from. Here are a couple more <a href="http://www.timbrya.com/portraits/senior-pix-samples/?album=7&amp;gallery=19" target="_self">samples</a> of Mechell.</p>

I want to thank Cathy and Patience for inviting me to photograph Paul and Michael&#8217;s Graduation Party. The setting was at The Hawthorn in a small banquet room. Paul is a  Graduate from The University of Illinois and Michael is a High School Grad from Lawton Christian in Oklahoma. As I sat up my equipment at the hotel, you could feel the hustle and bustle of the University of Illinois Families and Grads, as they came and went to the different cermonies in Champaign-Urbana. The tables were set with the Orange and Blue and I prepared my portable studio for the afternoons event.</p>

</a>
With the arrival of the Grad&#8217;s and their Family we began shooting the different Groupings they wanted. The samples I have chosen were just a few of the 150 plus pictures the have reveived as part og their package. Lunch was served and there was a short break before the Parents and Friends all took turns sharing words of encouragement and thanks.  I took photos of each of the Speakers and the Grads hoping to capture some connection they shared. There were tears and laughter, prayers and many thankful cheers throughout the celebration. Paul finished up thanking the Families and Friends most of which travelled quite a way to attend. Here are some <a title="Party Samples" href="http://www.timbrya.com/portraits/group-event-samples/?album=4&amp;gallery=6" target="_self">samples</a> of the sets captured this day. I used <a title="Picassa" href="http://picasa.google.com/" target="_blank">Picassa</a> to edit the warmth and highlights, which I recommend to anyone who doesn&#8217;t have a photoediter to work with.</p>
<p>Till next time.</p>
