			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Katelyn and I had such a good time at our shoot the other day that we decided to do a little repeat! This time, we focused on her musical talent, as Katelyn is a gifted euphonium player and vocalist.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xHgx36bgteo/TjlrnMq-0MI/AAAAAAAAASU/3cTreaJJUTQ/s1600/Katelyn2-4bw.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xHgx36bgteo/TjlrnMq-0MI/AAAAAAAAASU/3cTreaJJUTQ/s640/Katelyn2-4bw.jpg" alt="" width="426" height="640" border="0" /></a></div>

<p>Conveying someone&#8217;s voice in a photo is a bit of a challenge, so we played with some confetti here to represent music flowing from her lips. (Heart shaped music confetti, mind!)</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LU1xzVROv-M/Tjlr1B0LMvI/AAAAAAAAASo/GIM0Cn0jMFw/s1600/storyboard+LLLL.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LU1xzVROv-M/Tjlr1B0LMvI/AAAAAAAAASo/GIM0Cn0jMFw/s640/storyboard+LLLL.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="320" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it looked in action!</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a title="how to make gif" href="http://picasion.com/"><img src="http://i.picasion.com/pic43/87c5f66746c2ffff7a369c9f64c3a946.gif" alt="how to make gif" width="300" height="450" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After that, we headed to a little field and scared away all the grasshoppers to grab a few meadow-y shots.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xLPQl3pBgss/TjlruTcU4qI/AAAAAAAAASc/zeCH6lvvD0A/s1600/Katelyn2-20.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xLPQl3pBgss/TjlruTcU4qI/AAAAAAAAASc/zeCH6lvvD0A/s640/Katelyn2-20.jpg" alt="" width="426" height="640" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>I absolutely adore this one.</p>

<p>I think this last one is my favorite. At the end of a stormy, humid day, she looks fresh and beautiful, as if we&#8217;ve been shooting on a perfect day at the beach (the only water nearby was in the puddles that were drying up!).<br />
Thanks, Katelyn!</p>
