Hi Beth, I really admire your work. I have seen it on photosite also. I was wondering how you get a high key portrait using only natural light. I also use only natural light and have tried high-key lighting and have not been sucessful, especially trying to photograph a very active kid. Any advice would be helpful. #547039

Thanks Stephanie! Well I first shoot in RAW. I also add to the exposure compensation (+) just alittle. Then in RAW I adjust the expsure alitte. And then in PS I apply an color POP action that really makes the white really white! Thats about it. It is really hard with little active kids. Hope this helps alittle. #3510014

Thanks for responding so quickly. I thought you must have added some exposure. I see I have a long way to go. I just went digital and have not even started to use PS yet. I am going to start with elements first and go from there. By the way, your little girl is adorable. Thanks for the advice.
