In order to show off Kara's present from Grandma, we set up some lights, diffused them with a sheet, fired up a fan and I got shooting.
I think I like this the best out of the 150 odd photos taken. It also gave me a chance to try out some direction, which I've not done before when shooting people (have only really done candids).
There's a few more shots from the shoot over on Lea's Photo-wife blog thing.

very nice work dave.
and kara!
I agree.
Lovely!!
And very cool bling it is too. Kara looks much older here - it won't be long before she's going out on dates until 1am and you're fighting off the young men queued up at your front door (I dread that time myself although, since my daughter is a fair bit younger than yours, I have a bit more time on my side).
Great shoot & direction too. Almost looks like a pro fashion shoot (I think the fan & long hair make a big difference). Excellent job Dave. And lookin' good Kara!

Discovered using FlickrFox. (?)
You're right though, I suppose it won't be long... guess I better polish up that rapier and find somewhere prominent to hang it...
As for the shoot, it was run quite similarly to a model shoot. Directions were given, many shots were taken, props were used. :-)
I still remember when I brought home my first boyfriend. "Hi! I'm Pat. I have an unregistered rifle, a large compost, and a lot of quick lime."
Impressively, he continued pursuing me. Brave man.
(She looks lovely!)
the lighting and the fan worked a treat! great shot

Great partnership. Take as many as you can David as once she has reached that certain age it become a big no LOL. I can hardly get my daughter in front of a camera any more :(
great angle & love the windblown hair effect:-)
That's weird. I thought I'd commented on this.
A great photo. You should use this one for her fake id. She looks about ten years older!
Beautiful shot Dave. Kara's a great model - I bet she loves this one. Better get the release forms ready LOL.
I also thought I'd commented on this earlier, put it down to operator erorphr, ( !!! )
