My friend, Tra needs a new headshot for her website, so I agreed to meet her and have a little portrait session. When I got there, she told me she had changed her mind and just wanted to talk- so that’s what we did. But, while we were talking I took a few practice photos. This one is my favorite- I think it gives you a glimpse of her beautiful spirit shining through her eyes.
Tra likes it too- so now we’re going to do another one- for REAL this time! I’ll keep you posted!

This is incredible, Melinda. I love that you captured her genuine smile, and I agree, her eyes shows what a nice person she is, with no doubt a loving and cheerful spirit.
Nothing like a friend…great smile!
I agree…………nice shot.
Just looking at her face, I want Tra as my friend!
Lovely shot that captures a beautiful soul!
Melinda, you have really found your calling with portraits. I haven’t seen one of your portraits that doesn’t capture the essence of the person you’re photographing and I don’t even know these people. This one is especially captivating with the light in her eyes and that gorgeous smile. YOu should be very proud of yourself.
