Stunning performance !! Very cute little girl!!

The shots in front for the tri-fold mirror - did you get some where you focused on her reflection, thus getting her face in focus and throwing the "real her" out of focus? That would make for a good shot as well.

I simply love the expressions you captured. Very well done!!! .

Thanks I was trying to capture the moment/emotion... storytelling-- unposed. I am lucky to have such a happy and expressive little subject.

Great idea about the reflection, It would have looked really cool in #3! I used it in a few others that i didn't post, but didn't anicipate that look of surprise as I was just trying to get a back of the dress/front of the dress shot.

This is such a great series! I love the way you captured her in the moment.

c&c
Feel free to list any c&c-- I'm just learning here, so you won't step on my toes I have my first second shooting experience this weekend, so I'm eager for any bits of advice.

I'm thinking that she is a little underexposed-- maybe in 7 and 10. They could have probably benefitted from a bit of fill flash, would that have blown out the white dresses in the background though?

I also think that 7 is almost there but lacking something, but since most people like it the best, maybe not :P... I think it's just that she is smack in the middle of the frame and not at the bottom.

I love #7 - what a great capture - I think I would title it "A glimpse into her future"

Great series!! I think #7 is my fav as well!! I am with Scott on the mirror shots. I think I get to carried away with it sometimes though!!

I would just watch out with 2 things:

- When you're shooting for an "actual client" (:D) watch out that you don't see yourself in any mirrors
- When shooting kids go down on their level. I thought you did it in a couple of shots, but then I saw your reflection in the mirror, and you were standing straight ... so ... get down on their level ... will make a big difference

a few more
Thanks for the advice! Here are a few more:

Here is one where my focus was on the reflection
11.


11. This shot was taken a split second later than 7


13. This one was taken a split second after 10, but it's dark

I think you need to adjust your white balance a little bit. Also, what the previous poster mentioned about composition. Other than that, nice job.
