I met up with this lovely young lady on a hot morning in Rushville. I love shooting in my hometown, there are really a ton of great spots here to get creative with! I typically shoot in the evening, so I always tend to get a tiny bit nervous about battling the sun in the morning/afternoon, but then I wonder why I don’t shoot earlier in the day more often! The light was PERFECT, and it was sunny! I know that there is a rumor out there that you can’t shoot in full sun, but that just isn’t true. Full sun creates such wonderful fill light, you just need to know how to work with it. Best of luck to this senior next year as she sets off to do her own thing!!!
