Description

Mattie and I spent yesterday afternoon taking pictures!! It's been a while since I even picked up my camera!!! It's difficult to get her to not make a cheese face these days so I was excited by some of the shots we got!! :)

Slightly cropped, coverted to b&w with Bs Vanilla, dodged and burned some.

Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall weather!! Have a wonderful week!!! :)

Jeanine- I think this portrait of Mattie is so cute and charming. She is an adorable little lady. The black and white is perfect for the picture with beautiful tones. Lighting and clarity are exceptional. I in particular am a huge fan of close up portraits as I feel they bring out the character of the person. Her pig tails, glasses, and expression tell of the joy she must bring you.
Sensational work.
Have a wonderful day my friend. #6980763

Melissa A. McDonald January 09, 2009

Debbie E. Payne January 09, 2009

How CUTE she is....I'm presuming she is yours, Jeanine? The tones of the black and white are some of the best I've seen in portraiture. So dramatic and "catch-your-breath" beautiful. #7008900
