I really like the first and the last three - the girl doesn't look too happy in the second one :p

[Svetlana]

I love the captures and I don't think people and kids should be smiling on every photo.:)

[BrianAZ]

Love number four...they just look so sad in some of the others, even though she was trying to smile in number 3. GREAT images.

LOL... it's not sad faces that you see... it's the typical... "come on, hurry it up.. I wanna go and play now" face... ;) Please tell me that I'm right, because I get that from my oldest often enough.... :rolleyes:;)

[javanutsy]

Wow, fantastic photos! I like #4 especially.

lol i know they look serious and maybe even sad...but i like that. kids arent always happy and smiley! i like to capture a variety of their expressions...maybe these ones are just too sad since several people have said they dont care for em

[BBrat]

I like them all. Very nice stuff.

someone mentioned that some of the photo's the children are not smiling, its the same thing my wife tells me when I shoot my son. I have to tell my wife that children have a million different expressions and they all tell a story somehow?

[christyjo2]

Love them all! Nice work yet again Carley. The main thing i like about all of your photos is you capture the true expressions and personalities of your subject.

[justincase724]

Excellent work, as always. I agree with christyjo2 in that you don't just capture photographs of your subjects, you capture their personalities and emotions in the photographs.

[CheetaPita]

christy and justin - thank yall so much :)

thanks! she has grown up quite a bit....and she is pretty much anti-camera these days lol

[In2Photos]

Very nice Carly, but the last one gets it for me. They both look so natural in this shot. :)

[thekid24]

oh dang....shes practically a mirror of your expressions.

maybe itll teach you to perfect your sneaky skills.lol

[sevillafox]

Nice Carley...I'm glad you don't live close to me because I'd never get my fledgling business off the ground. ;)

I agree too...I like the not so happy shots sometimes. They tug on your heart in a different way than smiles.

[CheetaPita]

thank you! im sure their mama is gonna love that one as well!

oh dang....shes practically a mirror of your expressions.

LOL i guess my sneaky skills need work..

and i dont think she's a mirror of my expressions

LOL yeah right. im sure you would...im still trying to get mine off the ground...im busy right now with holiday sessions but im really afraid i will slow down after christmas is over...having your own business creates a lot of anxiety, doesnt it?

[concatonate]

I love them all as well. I like capturing kids with different expressions so I don't think it matters that the girl in the second shot isn't smiling. In fact, often times I like them better!

I am a big fan of all your work that you've posted! If you wouldn't mind sharing, what do you do in your post processing that seems to put a "white" emphasis on your black and white photos? I understand if you don't want to share your secrets, but I am curious because I love it!

The contrast is really a bit too high for B&W in the first two, unless you were going for ultra high/unnaturally high contrast.

i appreciate the comment - and no i wasnt going for "unnaturally high contrast" but i rather like how the photos ended up :) might not be for everyone....we all have different tastes
