Numbers 5, 7, 9, and 12 are my faves, because she's smiling or laughing in them. I've always loved pics of people laughing; whenever I take a group shot or a portrait, I tell some kind of joke instead of telling them to say Cheese, because a laugh is a much more natural and beautifying smile than a posed frozen smile. Number 13 is also good, but has some motion blur.

Thank you. I know whenever I am doing a photoshoot I tell my customers the same thing. Just to be natural and then we talk and joke around. I usually tell them how I am afraid of heights but look at me, I am on a tall ladder to take there pics... Then they start laughing at me. With my daughter, just getting a picture is a success. She is going to be 3 next month, and she is in non stop movement. I can't get her to sit still or stand still. So I just did what I could with her yesterday. But anyways, thank you. I appreciate your comments.

#5 is tops
Love #5 really good shot, your littlle girl is postcard cute and that shot brings out the moment.
The shot is a little underexposed but not so much it can't be adjusted w/o introducing a lot of noise.
Snow plays tricks on your cameras metering b/c it picks up the light reflecting off the snow more than the people.

Often I don't have time to meter or calibrate white balance and such, especially when it's "hey Dad look at what little Levi is doing". I always try to slightly over expose and then adjst down, you can correct for exposer w/o introducing noise. I take a shot in auto look at my metering results and adjust exposure from that data.

-Merry Christmas

Thank you... I really loved #13 but didn't print it as a 13x19 b/c it was a little soft. I really wish that one came out more clear than it did, but that is the chance I taken when using my F2.8 lens and my daughter who can't stop moving lol, plus the snow. Oh well, I still love it.

She is absolutely adorable and the images are great!

What a sweetheart! Looks like she had a fun time!:D You are lucky to get so much snow. Ours lasted ONE day, but at least the kids took advantage while it lasted.
