My second daughter Maelle was born last Saturday, this is our first photo shoot of here besides the hospital pictures. She is a beautiful little girl, mom and baby are both healthy and doing really well!

I would appreciate any comments or criticism that you may have about these pictures!

Congrats!

The only critique that I would say is that the color photos look a bit over-exposed to me. By 0.5 stop it seems.

Anyone else see this? on my screen they look great, the white blanket may be clipped but that is all i see. Thanks for bringing it up though.

The first two are the main ones that seem really over-exposed. Composition is great! Did you take them in RAW format? If so, you could really tweak um without losing any quality. The fouth is the best in terms of exposure. The last photo is a little too light and I would darken it up a little bit. As I said before, I love the compostion with my favorite being #2, and # 5.

I would also like to give ya a Congrats too! I can image how awesome it must be having another little one in the house. I am an expecting Dad with a due date of August 5th and I have another daughter as well, so I can relate to you! I'm sure your very proud! You have a Beautiful baby girl spesmeadeus!

These have been updated to be about a half step darker than before, I think it looks good on my screen but I know when it goes to print that the brighter one is going to print better from my machine if they look right on the screen they are dark in print.

Great job on the set, I like the composition on the 1st and 2nd one, wish you had the rings on her hands on those ones too.

Great pictures. I think the 1/2stop edits improved the shots.

Thanks I agree on the monitor, but we got some of the others printed before the edit and they turned out just fine.
