I really had ulterior motives. You see when I did a photography course a few years ago, we did a module on portraits. Now to do take a portrait, you need a subject. In my house, both Karyn and Matthew refuse to have their photos taken normally, so getting them to sit for a portrait shot was impossible. I ended up having to use one of our dogs for my portrait photo.
Catherine is extremely photogenic, so she agreed to pose for some shots before going to her Formal. I took lots so that I will have plenty of material to practice my Photoshop skills in the coming year. I learnt a lot from the process, including how difficult it can be to get a good picture during a social occasion with people all around, the problems of taking photos in the very late afternoon, the difficulty of finding a nice background, and how you can't trust some photo printing places to accurately print the right colours.
Anyway, it was nice of her to give me the opportunity to practice.
