    Thanks for the input, I sometimes don't know when to stop. It is an ongoing conversation in my head.

    Really like the infant shot. You always amaze me with your newborn shots, they're so good.

    The third one is amusing. Was the hubby trying to give himself a "baby bump" too?

    retouching is more than my taste but i don't think it looks bad at all...gives the photos a softer feel, and its part of your style i've noticed. i like 2 a lot! number 3 and 4 i also really like, but minor nit..the wb seems mixed, like two different light sources but not one dominating one. anyway beautiful otherwise. I bet 3 would be awesome in b&w!

    Thank you, your input is thoughtful and helpful . I used a beauty light in some of these, it mostly just gives the eyes come catchlights. I did 3 in b&w as well, it looked great. #1 is way way smooth but I really like that one over smoothed.

    Sometimes I look at my photos or others and I wonder what is that one thing , the one tweak that makes others look "polished" or gives them that little push that says PRO PHOTO! Can't put my finger on it but I feel sometimes I need it. Sometimes a vingnette does it, but not always. Thanks for commenting
