Beautiful model. I feel like we’ve seen her before? Your daughter?

No, Francesca is a neighbor. You might remember her from my entry 2 years ago

although her face is not very visible there. Back then she asked me for a photoshoot when she was pregnant with her first daughter.

And just a month ago she became a mom to two more beautiful babies and asked me for another session.


Oh sweet.

Wow, those eyes...such an amazing capture!

Personally, as heretical as it sounds, I find the baby's defocused head just a tad distracting. Recognizing that the child is also a key part of the story here, I might try cropping for something more like 8x10 such that the child's forehead and hand are visible in the frame, but not the whole head.
