Sugar Magnolia
They all fell off today, and I didn't really have the equipment I needed....(it was in our other car) but sometimes you get what you need, with what you have.

Flash was laying on the ground here, should have had the 4 year old assistant hold it as the 8 year old assistant was making sure his sister didn't fall down or eat petals.
Flash held by my 8yr old assistant.
ahhh the tongue.

I am not sure if its because of your flash position or if you did it in post, but the vignetting happening in the bottom corners of # 2 and #3 is distracting. Its degrading these two images for me. And maybe a wider shot with the petals creating more of a frame might have been really nice, especially with the center composition of your baby.
But #1.. Really nice! The bokeh and the framing of the trees in the background is very cool. Like you said lighting could have been a little different and you could have probably got rid of the harsh shadows, but you do what you can with with what you got at the time!

everyone digging 1 just confirms that my concept for it was good. My mother bought her this outfit as a "second" Easter dress, I really liked it because it is cotton and has a very old school look. I wish I wasn't dodging (not literally, photographically) cars and things in the close background, and that I had a umbrella. The barebulb does add something to the old school look of it, like a handle flash. I really wish I could have shown some more Magnolia petals in this, but I had to get really close to keep parked cars out of the frame. She just started sitting up, so it serves as a milestone portrait, and maybe not the most technically awesome portrait, still a very cool shot that everyone seems to like.
