    Beautiful, Trudy! And isn't it fun too when you look at previous years and realise how much you've grown? thumb.gif

    Wow - I remember several of these. Excellent work. I really like your processing for a lot of the headshots and portraits. It doesn't look too overdone, but fresh and bright. You achieved consistent processing through them even though from different shoots and your personal style really came into its own. Very nicely done.

    I also think you achieve the delicate balance of making the eyes pop, without overdoing it.

    Thanks Diva, ha, when I look back to my first "session" it makes me realize how lucky I was to keep shooting and not throw in the towel!!
    Thank you Met! I used to wonder how to find MY style, then when I just followed up my "good" shots with good editing( that can be the hardest part!) it seems to have found me. :D
    Stephanie, I think we can forget some of our favorite work until we dig it all up and put it side by side, thanks for the compliment !
    Qarik, the red head alone on the couch is not really alone, lol. It was impromptu , her 2 yo was DONE for the session. That is my living room couch in a huge window that has patio cover and good light, hard to get a bad shot there.#11 same spot sans couch. She was camera self aware and her 2 yo was tugging on her off and on, I said just throw your head way over, it worked !
    Now you guys get busy !! Let's see everyone's!!bowdown.gifbowbowdown.gif

    You have such a nice diversity to your work while maintaining a very distinctive and classy style. No small feat! thumb.gif

    What a fun and difficult chore to look through a years work and pick your favorites.
    I can see why you chose these, there are some very nice shots here.
    Nice work, thanks for sharing.
