I was so pumped about this session, because Samantha told me she had NEVER had her portraits done! First of all, that is just crazy because she is soo gorgeous, and second of all, she is an absolute natural in front of the camera. No joke, she didn't need hardly any help getting natural poses.

We had to take the traditional graduate portraits on Mizzou campus, but then we mixed it up by heading to a park for some really fun images. We incorporated her awesome jeep, which she is rightfully proud of. I love that this petite beauty drives this huge bad-a** vehicle. I think that describes Samantha in a nutshell. Small but fierce.

Of course, her fierce nature came into the shoot when we worked in her gun. How sassy is that? I had so much fun shooting Charlie's Angels poses with her, because obviously you have to. I mean, otherwise that's an opportunity missed, right?
