Here are a few more recent photos...
I think the one above is my favorite of this first set. What do you think?
On the next series of shots:
I've always seen the 'sun flare' shots (not sure if that's even the correct term - if not, and you know the correct one...please don't hesitate to leave me a comment) and really like the effect, but never really been in the right place at the right time when we've gone out on a shoot.
While they're most definitely not 'perfect', I do love them and we'll definitely have to go out again and give this type of shot another try.
I love the way the edge of her face and her hair are illuminated here...
