I love these images - I am really into the maternity thing today wishing I had some one to shoot to add to my portfolio. I love that shot with the sister. I like the lighting. I might PS the blemish off Mom's face.

The background wrinkles bother me. The images are lovely - but my eye wanders to the wrinkles.

Everytime I shoot, I am reminded of a tag line I see on another board
"You are responsible for EVERYTHING in the frame.

My favorite is 5. Though I wish that the wrinkles weren't there as well.
You could try some pp on them to see if their effect can be minimized.
Great shots, overall!

This shot was taken on the third time I'd ever used my lights and background. She is the youngest of 6 girls. I had invited mom and the 6 girls to come help me get familiar with my lights etc. The shots were given to dad for Father's Day.

After seeing some of her older sisters pose she walked over and said, ME! She layed down just as she'd seen them do and posed. It was a precious moment.

Here's mom and all the girls..........

Yes. Very very nice.

(I wish the bubble pic didn't have the face shadows. Lovely idea.)

The one nice thing about the wrinkles left in the background for the family of girls is that when put into the collage they don't lool like they're just "floating" (like my son looks in the image below)

I do wish the shadow wasn't on her little face, but trying to tell a 2 year old not to pop the bubbles right in front of her face was a challenge....lol But I love the way the bubbles look with the black background and the light hitting them.

I love working with collages. It is one of my favorite "extras" to offer customers. A collage of my daughter is what started turning this wonderful hobby into a business in the first place.

Here's a small sampling: (ok, forgive me for showing off just a bit....but, I just love these!!)

the one that started it all:

and if I don't show one of my son too.......
