Was pretty nervous about this one. I wasn't entirely sure that my skills were where they needed to be yet, but she was VERY pleased with the results.

Now lets hear what you all have to say... Good, bad, ugly, indifferent... hit me with all of it!

Thanks!

Nice series... not sure why it was moved (from people?), but... I'd like to see the third shot in colour. I think this one might be better in colour, but overall the images work well and should please the lovely lady.

It was actually moved from G&N. I decided not to post the photo that would have qualified it for that category, but forgot to move my post someplace else.

I'll see what I can do about posting a color version of #3. Thank you for your comments!

You need more separation for the hands in the last one. It took me a bit to realize daddy was hugging her.

Like the shots, but having been the victim of stretch marks myself, I would want them out of a photo if it were me.

I agree - didn't realize there were two sets of hands at first.

The first is really lovely, just perfect. What was your light setup?

Thank you for looking and commenting! :-)

I believe for the first shot I just used a single Alienbees B800, placed directly in front of the model (left of the frame) at about chest level and fired through a translucent white umbrella.

Nicely done. I see a halo effect girl from her neck to the top of her head..
The stretch marks to pop out... maybe she wants that? Nicely done.
