Shooting with Leslie

...or shooting Leslie. Hmm, no matter how I write that, it doesn't sound right! :) Well, Leslie agreed to model for me as I practiced some of my photography yesterday...she was a real sport. I was so excited to practice with Leslie because she has a great look and is up for anything!!! We took about 150 shots, but I thought I'd post just a few. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to edit any of them, so I'm afraid you're getting the raw truth as to how much I have to improve.
I have to be honest with you, I was pretty discouraged with how...well, lets just say it, bad I am...but, Bek and Heidi have been really encouraging and have said that I shouldn't get discouraged with this being my first "shoot". So, in the spirit of Silly Nothings and documenting my life, I'm posting what is sure to be the first of many photos! Taryn, Kristi, and Haley, you probably shouldn't look any further...being the experts and all. :)

Leslie in her shop...I just have to give an explanation for her "ring", since I'd hate to get my friend in trouble with these pictures! :) Poor Leslie has a wart (hope you don't mind I just told the blogging world that!) and she's heard that sticking duck tape on it will get rid of it...so it's actually duck tape!...but it looks cute anyway. :)
This is Leslie in her new house!
Probably my favorite from the day...it's the "real" Leslie!

Don't be so hard on yourself...those are awesome pictures Tami!! I could NEVER do anything near that good. I say keep up the good work and by the way...great model:)
Ive heard about duct tape...never tried it...I ended up freezing mine off at one point and that worked. I just bought the stuff from the store that came in a littel can...and you freeze it off yourself. Worked well if duct tape falls thru.

Leslie Ringger said...

thanks tam! it was soo much fun! just like playing dressup...yes i'm still very much a child at heart. :)

man, i'm soo glad to hear that duck tape really works! knowing me, i would have had it on for a couple weeks only to find out it makes warts bigger! :)

I'm laughing, because you kept calling it duck tape. I assume you were referring to duct tape. It sounds so funny, because I just imagine you wrapping a duck up in tape.

Wendy said...

For the record Jon, I spelled it right... just for the record!

I am glad to hear it works too. How long did you leave it on for. I really need to be more consistant.
