ok first attempy here...at high key... I see now that i need more light on the backdrop to blow it out..rather than doing it in PS...

the color is really striking in comparison to the background, they are great.

The collage on the second pic is great. I love how the chair bar goes up from left to right as the mood of your lovely model. Clever idea and nice execution.

hi,
rule for white backgrounds is to expose the background at 2 stops over that of your subject.. voilla, perfect white background

nice start :)

What you've done with collage is as high key as it gets.

But: Let your lady wear a white dress on a white chair. In that case, the chair won't compete with the face.

Really? I think that the diagonal line made by the chair bar across the three pictures kind of "de-square" the composition making it look more informal and also more fun. And that goes fine with a kid.

I always thought that high key was when you blow out the face (not necessarily the background). But anyway those are excellent shots. All keepers / framers. Great color, poses.

I love this too, it makes the collage more interesting. Great photos, love them all, the colors and the poses are perfect, and I think the high key worked out well. She is adorable!
