<span class="drop_cap">I</span> love, love, love this whole shoot start to finish (continued from <a href="http://shannonhuntphotography.com/2010/09/grace-under-pressure-temple-tx-and-harker-heights-tx-portrait-photographer/">this preview</a>). Unfortunately I'm only going to be sharing a very small amount of the photos here (the rest are saved for my lovely model only) but it hurts so much that I won't be sharing everything else. This session in particular took a lot of coordinating, preparation, and just a whole lot of everything. It feels so amazing when everything comes together and I can sit back at the end and realize that I'm doing exactly what I <em>should </em>be doing. I love my job. I love being creative and really seeing my progress with every new challenge. 

Every session takes a lot of planning and directing, but most of my sessions I'm capturing what's happening around me or just loosely directing people where I need them to be and then letting them be themselves in candid moments. This session, however, I orchestrated all the details of this session, start-to-finish, so I was so thrilled and proud when it came together exactly how I planned and hoped, and in some ways better than I imagined.
