Again some great ideas, Keiran. Thanks so much for helping me with this project. I'm starting to get more excited about the reshoot as more ideas fill my little brain. Savanah poses very naturally, so its just up to me to capture that and direct her to best suit her. I think I will try some outdoor shots if the sky is nice - I can totally envision what you describe with some fluffy white clouds on blue sky, blue dress, blue eyes, blonde hair - I think it would work very well.

Also, I like the lolly pop idea, which made me think of a hula hoop! that might be fun too!

Anyway, I will post more shots as we get them. Again, thanks for all the kind comments. :)

So the pagent was last night.......

It took so long to get her dress altered that we didn't get to do another studio shoot before the pagent but....
....I shot all night and got some amazing shots. Savanah looked great. All the girls had a fun and really enjoyed themselves. And I LOVED shooting them! I have hundreds of shots to sift through, but here are my first pick favs:

Cindi, great work on those photos in what appear to be very challenging lighting conditions!

It was sooooooooooooo dark in there. ISO was at 1600 whole time and I wasn't allowed to use flash. A short woman with a nasty disposition reminded me of that fact FOUR TIMES! *mumblessomethingaboutpagentnazi*
