Pretty nice work, I love the poses.
About the music, is there any reason why you can't just turn down the volume on your computer? On my Mac, mute is just one keystroke away. I get it, music on a website is annoying-I hate it too-but you're going to deny yourself an opportunity to possibly learn something new or get a new idea because of the crummy music?

I suspect Ketamine. I've got a 10 week old and have been trying to get her into similar cute positions for weeks to no avail. I really do think some sort of narcotic would do the trick. |

I am at work, i was interested to see what said photos looked like. I have my own music playing. Pictures start to load, music loads, two songs are now playing at different volumes in an annoying and loud manner. I search for the music controls, i find them at the bottom, i go to press pause but photos are still loading and it keeps jumping down. After 15 seconds i manage to press it. I have now lost interest to navigate the site. I go back to work..
Sorry, really don't mean to derail this thread. Hopefully since i started it i can be the one to end it. Back to the discussion.

She's changing most of her white areas and skin tones towards the yellow spectrum. |
About the post processing, I agree that is what it looks like. Play with S curves on green and red channels, adjust the blue at the center point a bit, then play with opacity and overall desaturation
"urban acid" mentioned by  thegrandwazoo may do something similar too.
But...post processing is probably the simplest and most copiable part, and not nearly as important as lighting, dof, composition, HER EYE and SUBJECT !!! :-) otherwise any of us could do it ..LOL. Sure worth to try though!

For the skin smoothing she's using portraiture. I don't like it on babies at all, their skin is already perfect in my opinion but that is what she uses and the actions are most likely a variant of the totally rad set, or the red leaf set. There are a couple groups on flickr that go through a lot of the process to posing babies like this. pm me if you want links :) forgive me if someone already said that!

| you can use lightrooom to get the effects. Make a Preset and just add it to the images. |
