Cheryl is a lovely senior lady who is in my weight loss class. I was stricken with her beauty (both inside and out), and asked if I could take her picture. At first she was hesitant because she just didn't believe enough in herself to think she would take a good picture and I admit I really talked her into it. I explained every step I took to her so she could relax and present her best image. I chose to take Cheryl's picture from a high vantage point so her chin could be more easily defined. This is important for people who have lost a good amount of weight. I also placed her close to a western facing window so the light coming in was softer in the early morning. I think I was lucky with her shirt color as it perfectly matched her bright blue eyes. Needless to say, she was quite surprised with how good she looked and she carries this picture of her everywhere.
