 V. 1. To emit light.2. To be bright by reflection of light 3. To distinguish oneself in an activity or a field; excel.  4. To be immediately apparent: Delight shone in her eyes.

 

Inspired by Sue Bryce, I have combined her excellent posing cues with my love of natural light. The result: consistently finding my client's inner shine in their portraits. I love that!
