Sitting Pretty

Description


WOW! I have been so busy these last few days. I have tried to catch up with everyone today. I know there are still a few I need to catch up with, and I will be doing that tonight.

I invested in some plexiglass, hoping it would help with reflecting the light better. I think it turned out pretty good. Little PS work done to this. I did play with color curves just a bit to brighten up Hannah's face. I've seen so many captures with these pettiskirts, so I just had to get some for my girls. Hannah LOVED hers! She didn't want to take it off. So, it will be seeing several pictures of my girls over the next few days.

ISO 400, 1/160, 4.5, 50.0 mm, handheld

I have yet to get barn doors, but I think the lighting is pretty good on this one. Not as much spill over.

But, I want to know what you think! All feedback, advice, and comments are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for looking!!!

This is absolutely adorable !! I LOVE the plexiglass....it gives the reflection of light and of your subject as well...I think that was a GREAT idea...hope you don't mind if I use it when I get a little studio set up in the future. We are turning our spare bedroom into a studio here at home, but since my husband had been working in Brasil for the past year, it has been put on the backburner. Wahhh Waaaahhh ! WINK, It will happen one day though.
I LOVE your work....especially your shots of the children with the all white backgrounds like this. You really have an eye for these kinds of shots.
Blessings to you and yours,
Jenny N Alabama
