great idea, and great shots. Your daughter clearly loves the camera - what is your secret?

Help me out here, where do you see exposure issues?? I am always looking to get better at this and it would help if there was specific feedback that I could use to improve.

Thanks!

In most of them the dress is blown out in areas. esp, 2,5,6. looks like some sort of reflective material which is gonna make shooting a white dress even harder.

Try shooting on a darker background and spot metering for the dress using the camera or get you a light meter.... I'm not the best at lighting and giving instruction on how to correct it, but I can see that the dress is blown.

Yeah, I see what you mean about the dress in a couple of these. I used a light meter for these which I think shows in the exposure of the subject, which at least IMO is pretty good. Of course if this was more than just a fun little thing with my little girl then I would need to work alot harder on the overall exposures........Thank​s for the follow up.

I'm glad this came back around... I missed commenting the first time I saw it...

It's all been said, but this is such a cute idea.. really love the series. :) Your daughter is a natural in front of the camera. :)
