Will mom be happy with these?

[threeinthenest]

Hello POTNers!

I did a portfolio-building shoot for a friend of mine and I am fixing to send the files to her, do you think she will be happy with these? Do I need to change anything? I haven't calibrated my moniter yet, so I am hoping these won't look like crap when they are printed. Thanks for looking please feel free to tell me ANYTHING.

They are beautiful. Mom should be tickled pink ;)

[threeinthenest]

Maureen, Thank you!! My heart just skipped a beat! I am just so nervous about sending them to her.....thanks again!

[Cdeming]

VERY cute!! If I were her mother, I'd be happy to have these pictures!! They have a sort of Anne Geddes feel to them. Good job!

These shots are really beautiful. On my VERY newly calibrated monitor, she has a strong pink cast, but it will be interesting to see if anyone else sees it. I am not ready to trust this new profile quite yet. :)

[Maureen Souza]

She's not pink on mine...just right!

[Skrim17]

Fabulous pics!! She has a bit of a pink cast on my (calibrated for a while) monitor, the first two are just a smidge yellow as well but I LOVE the pics.

Don't know any parent that wouldn't be tickled with these!

[AndreaBFS]

This is closer to where my monitor says the color should be. I feel she's blue here, but my numbers say I'm wrong. I have to recalibrate my brain because it has been compensating for my monitor, I guess. Was there more than one temperature of light source used? Like indoor lamps as well as window light? It seemed like there were different colors on each side of her face.

I went -12 on the red channel using the eye dropper on baby's forehead (left side) in pic #2 and it looked fine.

Ya know, I do see some pink......but I also see blue in Andrea's edit...........that is the toughest part for me-getting the skin tones correct and consistent. These were all taken outdoors in early morning light. I think I used my diffuser that came with my reflector set on some of these. oh, and I do see the yellow too. I have a super-cute shot of her crying, but I just couldn't figure out how to edit it to make it look better so I left it out! I have so much to learn. Thank you everyone for your sweet words and comments!

[FocalPrincess]

Post your crying shot, I'll bet some of the PS experts will have some suggestions for you!

I would be extremely pleased with them if I were mom!

[Kathy H]

Absolutely beautiful shots!

On my screen she is a tiny bit pink, but I think they look great, babies are pink.

[Clare624]

These are just precious and will be cherished forever.

I see a slight cast on my calibrated monitor. Otherwise they are well composed and quite cute.

Yeah, on my monitor that is fairly close...this looks like it has a slight cyan cast.
The originals looked fine to me...the color cast you are seeing is the reflection of the pink material.


And Mom will love these.

[threeinthenest]

Wow, thank you everyone!

[Maureen Souza]

I tried playing with the colors a little on one shot...not sure it is any better than yours but what the heck!

[CheetaPita]

soooooooooooooooo cute!

[reefergal]

I like them a lot.

[Skrim17]

Is that a tutu?

[threeinthenest]

Maureen-I really like the edit, looks great!


Skrim-its a pettiskirt! :)

[twofruitz]

I'm happy with them! Mum will be more than happy.

[Hinson]

I think what everyone is seeing is a bit of over-saturation. Here is an edit with the saturation lowered.

[newatthis]

i love them. this newbie has a question... what lens did you use?

Thanks!:)

[BBrat]

Beautiful images!! Mom will definately LOVE these.

[Eliza_Day]

she will definitely LOVE these!

[acchildress]

She better be! Cause they're great! The color looks fine on my monitor that has been adjusted with Spyder2PRO.

[Flo]

Too freakin adorable!!!!!! I would hang them all on my wall and invite the neighborhood over to Owww and Ahhhhh:D

[threeinthenest]

Thanks so much! :)

[bskaran]

[skade]

I also lowered the saturation but of the baby's skin only and left the more vibrant pink of the material. then I added just a smidge of skin softening.
