First paid gig!

[TheReal7]

Feels so good to actually make some money doing what I love! :D

This was for my girlfriend's cousin. They wanted some shots of there ridiculously cute daughter. The whole shoot wasn't more then maybe 10-15min but got so many keepers it's stupid. Here are few of my favorites.

Wonderful shots..love the skin tones, the expressions, everything...
Did you use the stock 28-135?

[Cdeming]

Great pictures! Very cute! The only thing I can see to critique is in #4 the flower looks like it's coming out of her nose. Other than that, awesome job! It looks you she had a lot of fun!

[christyjo2]

Beautiful job! Such a pretty little girl as well. :) What pp was used on these if you dont mind me asking.

[Phil.hearing]

Nope. These are shot with a 70-200mm 2.8IS @ F4 ISO200 for the most part.

Beautiful job! Such a pretty little girl as well. :) What pp was used on these if you dont mind me asking.
Not much. Tiny bit of fill light and bumping the contrast a bit.

is she smelling the flower in 4?
I don't think so. She was just looking at it.

I can't believe this is your FIRST paid gig!! Your photos are stunning.
Excellent job in this series!

[TheReal7]

[breathless]

[shannyD]

6 is beautifully done. i really like the comp, the colors, and the pp.. perfectly done.

[big.tater]

Awesome series! Excellent pictures and looks like fun. ;)

[acchildress]

Very nice. it helps when the kids want to be photographed doesn't it?

[TheReal7]

Thanks a lot :)

I agree. She was very photogenic. I think it helped that she was having fun playing in the leaves instead of trying to do a posed shoot.

[nadya]

They look awesome. Something about #4, wish the flower wasn't there....

[toddmitchell]

they look great!
just be careful where you cut out limbs

really great lighting no flash or reflector used?

[pretzelhead]

Those photos are so CRISP.

[casp3r]

Lovely series

[TheReal7]

Thank you everyone. No flash or reflectors. Just good lighting conditions (overcast).

[Galaxy99]

[TheReal7]

Thank you Galaxy99
