Did this shoot last night, an engagement shoot technically, but their little girl came along with us, and well, stole the show! Looking for some constructive criticism!

    She's beautiful! With #4, I would consider "healing out" the sun spots caused by the hood and maybe lightening her little cherub-like expression. What a heartbreaker this one's gonna be!

    Beautiful set. I'm particularly fond of 1, 4, and 5. thumb.gif

    In 3, I'm wishing for a hint more fill on the shadowed side of her face. In 4, I'm wondering what this would look like with her eyes a little brighter. They're gorgeous and deserve to steal the show in that shot. :D

    Thank you all for your very kind comments!

    I shot these with my 70-200mm 2.8 IS the sun was setting and I just hate ruining a good natural lit photo with flash because of the lens choice! I bumped up the ISO, but used a noise reducer so am quite happy with the results! After shoots like this I remember why i love my job so much!

    I love the photos also, I have been practicing using less flash ! I have the same lens you used. So I am cursious what ISO you used and when you say noise reducer that is a filter used through photoshop right?
