Wind - Edwardsville Senior Pictures

Taking senior pictures outdoors--or any portraits, really--is risky. Sometimes I feel like a farmer, who looks to the sky, knowing he is at the whim of the weather. But the farmer and I make the best of it. What else can you do? On this blustery day along the Mississippi River at Alton, Mckenzie Keth faced a constant wind of at least 20 mph, with fantastic gusts, like the one that blew the hair across her face and helped create this unusual portrait.
