Actually, these are from an earlier session (before she cut her long locks). Same location, only a sunnier day with more window shades open and posed more or less near the center of this large room. Used same white board reflector. Comments always welcome.

    I like #5 from the rest of the images. You were able to capture a very nice reaction from her with that simple smile.
    Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

    Thanks for your input. That one was not among my favorites initially but after coming across it again I decided to include it.

    I like 2 & 5 most of the group. The fist in the first one doesn't help, IMO.

    You might try taking a fresh dryer sheet and gently rubbing down her hair to remove the slightly distracting fly-aways.

    Thank you both for your input. I'll have to try that dryer sheet trick. Never heard that one before. eek7.gif

    I actually really like these, but (don't want to be mean) I want her to use some chapstick, The dry lips are a distraction to what could be some really nice emotion shots...

    And thanks FlyNavy for the Dryer sheet tip, I will bring one to my boudoir shoot this weekend! :-)

    I like what you've done here with the window light. Her eyes are tack sharp and well illuminated....
    I like #4 with a hint of a dimple....

    Thanks, Rey. She has great eyes and enigmatic smile. Always relaxed around the camera.
