Post 1st birthday shot

I took this on daughter's 1st birthday. Every time I see it, it makes me smile. Let me know what you think? This is my first post. Comments are well received.

Very cute picture! Great DOF I would have come up just a tad to try not to cut off the top of her head...


Thanks for sharing

Welcome to DPS, Kellie. I can certainly see why you smile. Not only is it an important marker in her life but your photo is far better than the typical 1st birthday candid shot. Your composition is so well done, the lighting is just perfect and you caught her inner spark. This was a really good choice for your first post. It makes me smile, too. (Just as an aside, I lived in Baton Rouge long ago but still have fond memories!) Come back and share more of your work with us!
