While in DR

I was traveling to Dominican Republic for a mission trip with a soon-to-be good friend, Lydia, when I mentioned I do speaker pics. "Really now? I am a speaker in an upcoming event and couldn't find a single image to send them," was her response. So we scheduled it. 

With my favorite portrait lens in hand, we managed to squeeze in Lydia's first pro photography session while in DR. And was I surprised. Typically first-timers need help getting relaxed in front of the camera but Lydia needed no help whatsoever. She smiled and turned and laughed like a professional model, in spite of the heat and humidity of the Caribbean summer.
