Thanks all for your great advice. Believe me I will be seeking more after the second shoot and maybe even before the second shoot. Sr Juanita is a very proud woman. She has been named one of the most influential top ten in our city. She is a force to behold, small and feisty and smiles real big allot. She has contributed to my beielf in my abilities to become an artist, always telling me that this is what God intended for me.

Just a couple more pics to show how dear she is, the first she is looking at the camer (me) and then she can't help but give me that twinkle she does!! The third one is when I asked her to pray for me, I am going to do a charcoal drawing of this one for her prsonally. The third was taken after she shared shome of her growning up stories and the lessons her mother taught her. I love this woman!

Patty, she has a lovely smile, but are you sure you want her grinning in the portrait? Are you telling her she doesn't have to smile, as though for a snapshot? People often think a portrait is like a photo, because you are taking photos! If you engage her in conversation and snap away while she's talking, or wait until just after she smiles, or as she's beginning to smile, you might get a more fluid, expressive look on her face. If you can get the suggestion of her lovely personality, that will have more depth, I think. Plus it will show off her lovely cheekbones and features. She really shines!

She LOVES to smile and believes she is only attractive when she does so. I think I will take your advice and just snap away. I believe if I can catch that just before a smile it would be great. I was trying to attain that, but was not fortunate enough to capture it.
