Maya, Class of '18 (part 2)

I am finally done editing daughter's Senor portraits (5th child, 3rd daughter.) Yes, I am the SLOWEST when it comes to my own kids! OY. But one of the benefits of having a photographer as a mother is the ability to have a lot of versatility in her final album. I took the photos over a period of 3 or so months and here is the 2nd batch taken in downtown Ashland, Wisconsin.

These are good!

All are good!!

What lens did you use for this shoot, Because I could find little more CA on 5,6.

Since I am new to portrait photography, I find difficult to get the natural expressions as if it is taken at the moment(no 4).
If it is known person I feel comfortable, But for unknown customers I feel difficult.

Thankyou

These were taken with my Canon 135 2.0 and the last one with my Canon 50 1.4. Getting a natural expression IS tricky, that's why I try to make sure that I meet my clients BEFORE the session to talk things through and get to know each other a little so that there aren't nerves. Of course, some people are just more relaxed and natural in front of the camera (she being one,) which also helps!

The fourth one is great! Very secret agentish looking to me.
