Portrait Collection

This is a really nice shot of a beautiful child, Mia. The softness and pastel tones complement so well the innocent demeanor that she's projecting. I see this as having even more impact as a fill-the-frame portrait, cropped in close on all sides with none of the white showing. I might try the crop to the top portion as far down as the middle of her forehead, allowing us a more directed focus on her very engaging eyes. A bit off of the bottom would give the hand positioning a more natural look, and coming in closer on the sides would further contribute to a more intimate feel to the portrait. I think that her sweet face could look stunning close up. :)

Day 19

Why is it that so many people feel a child has to be smiling for a picture to be good? It's so often more effective to capture those other little nuances of personality. I find it cute how the boy is linking his little toes together, and how the puppy is apparently taking an interest in that too. I really don't think that the boy looks sad, but he might come across to some as being slightly uncomfortable. Perhaps this was the type of photo session where he needed to be given lots of opportunity to just play and interact naturally with the puppy as you took loads of pictues. Both the boy and the puppy are adorable...even without smiles. :)

Aside from the lighting issues, this is a very nice portrait of your wife and daughter. I really like the natural framing and the subtle bokeh.
