She is very cute. The composition is nice, but her face seems to be a little too dark in the images, and i think giving them a nice warm look would be nice as well. These have a bit too much of a red tint going on. She's adorable.

Thank you.
Just to ask.. I did actually use the 'warm' bar on Lightroom to warm it up a little. What else would you suggest? (I'm not the best at edits!) I thought red would be classed as one of the warm colours.

I would suggest some off camera or fill flash to help with the shadows.

Definitely need fill. Also, color temp seems a bit "off". Did you use anything for post color correction? Might be helpful as well. Images well composed.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have a fill flash, will invest in one when money allows :)

The only thing I changed about the colour was the temp bar in Lightroom, I moved it up a little.
I did dodge her face a little in PS so that might be why that looks odd, I'm not so great at editing!

Adorable girl, distracting dress. Without flash, I would suggest that the subject be partially hit by the sunlight to brighten her face and give her more depth. Get her angled so the sun is about 45ยบ from her nose.

Cute photos. A little magenta heavy.

I went into Lightroom and edited the image. See what you think. Increased temp +48, contrast +18, Blacks -38, bumped up Clarity +10, Vibrance +2 and Saturation +2, increased Red Luminance +27. File size exceeded 150K and couldn't open in PS...or I'd post results. JMHO.
