The observation deck overlooking the Missouri River is a great place to take sunset shots at this time of year given the direction of the sun around sunset. I caught Liu sitting on the bench under it putting on her skates a couple weeks ago.
But Leslie initially wasn't going to bite. Her partner wanted to take a couple shots of her, but she was a little wishy-washy. So I tried to advocate in her partner's direction, saying something along the lines of "There's gorgeous light out here right now. Don't let him walk away empty-handed."
And then I demonstrated a simple pose with the additional direction to look back over her shoulder. The partner took a couple shots, then she let me take these of her. She's hot, and, courtesy of the posing direction and her smile, looks confident as well.
