Some portraits are best presented alone, while others work well in groupings. For other images, color can be a deterrent while black & white is intriguing.

Campbell’s mother wanted timeless portraits of her daughter prior to the dancing shots. The above image is one of my favorite portraits of a young woman on the verge of adulthood.
