This young lady contacted me through Model Mayhem... She was wanting to get into modeling (still in high-school), so was wanting images for her portfolio. Luna and her mother came out for the day, and although it was our first time meeting, we were able to relax pretty quickly and got a lot of really nice images over the next few hours. As I'm not a professional, it's especially important to find a rapport with the model (and in this case, their mother) as quickly as possible to put them at ease. I also didn't leave too much to chance, and spent a few hours finding images of teen models/poses online to be able to direct in an appropriate manner. A bonus of the model's mother being there was the she also acted as assistant in a number of the images, which was great....
