Preview of some grad photos I have taken recently

Here's my first update.  My wonderful girlfriend Laurie D. Padilla (check her blog http://an-artistic-journey.blogspot.com/ ) will be graduating soon with a Bachelor Degree in Interior Design.  So naturally she asked me to take some graduation photos so she can send to her family.   I have never done a photo shoot before so this was a real challenge and opportunity for me to come up with poses, test lighting and backgrounds, and to try and find locations.  It was a struggle at first as I wasn't completely satisfied with the sheet I tried to hang as a background.  Needless to say it was taken down and just the wall of my bedroom was used, and I could not be happier with the way the photos have turned out.  Only half of our photo shoot is complete as our outside shots were delayed with weather.  We should be shooting with in the next week and hopefully I can have a few of those shots up to take a look at.  Until then, enjoy these and let me know what you think.  
Equipment used:  Canon 7D, EF 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 lens,  430ex speedlite
