Portraits with Nicolette

Nikki and I were portrait partners for the photo class I'm in right now, and our assignment was to take two portraits: one that was "real" and one that was "ideal."  That whole idea is open to interpretation, but these are the two I ended up liking best of Nikki.

For the "real" portrait, I asked Nikki where she feels most comfortable or most herself on campus, and her answer was the library, so we went and shot there.  I'm guessing the librarians weren't pleased with the massive number of books we had off the shelves.

Nikki balances a lot of things in life, like any good college student, so we played with this idea a bit more with her "ideal" portrait.
