Freeeakin awesome! Not often that I am excited about a photo, but she is beautiful and the lighting is amazing! Great shot

[MrJones]

thanks everyone
anything you might have done differently? any critique?

[SGToliver]

I think it is a very shot, one that I would be happy with. Only thing I can see that distracts me once I noticed it was the blown highlights on the hands but it may have been unavoidable. Not everyone can have an assistant to hold up a diffuser.

I know very little about posing. With that caveat, and speaking as a mom, I would rather have seen her feet together or down one step.

It really is a wonderful set of pictures though and I especially like the light coming through her hat.

thank you
I can see what you mean and I'll make sure to avoid it next time.
is it really that disturbing as a mom?
