My daughter and senior portraits

Changed Watermark and Enlarged Pics...Hopefully this is better? :dunno

My daughter Taylor LOVES the camera and, fortunately, the camera loves her. I've always loved photography, but have only really gotten into it in the past year, mostly to take pictures of her. Her friends have seen my work with Taylor and now many of them want me to do their senior portraits. I'm posting a few of my favorites of Taylor and one of her best friend, Hannah. Hannah won most photogenic in a pageant with pictures I took of her. I'd like some comments from you. Are these good enough? Do you think parents would be happy with these? I'm thrilled with them, but, hey, she's my daughter and I took the pics! Anyway, any advise you can give me would be much appreciated!!

Thanks,
Teresa

Honestly, I can't see the pictures for the watermark.

agreed on the watermark...plus they're a bit small so its hard to see.

your daughter is indeed photogenic and i love the shots with her guitar, specifically #5. I would LOVE #3 if you were shooting from a higher angle, as it is there's a bit much chin/distortion.

From what I can tell, #7 is a great shot albeit a bit underexposed and flat. Love the composition and her expression, would love to see this BIGGER, and maybe in BW?

Better Watermark
Hopefully this is better. Thanks for the comments! Keep em' coming!

I'm still learning Photoshop Elements and still have a LONG way to go.

How about this conversion?
Is this better?

Teresa,

So much better; thanks for cleaning up the watermarks!

I love #1 - beautiful! I love her smile in #2. #3 is great, but the face is a bit blown; can you bring back some contrast? 5, 7, 8, and 9 are also very good.

I like your crop of 7, but the BW conversion isn't quite right; her skin lost contrast.

A very nice set of pictures overall.

Regards,
Wes
