The continuation from my other post, Chloe & Maggie. Ashleigh is my gorgeous baby girl, as some of you already know, and the rest are her dance friends.

Ashleigh (I didn't get to shoot very much of her unfortunately but at least i got some that I love)

Wish I had something constructive to add but I don't. These are just really nice photos. Luv #4 #10 #1 in that order and Ashleigh #4 what a cutie

Superb. What was your light source in #1 and #14?

divamum · October 6, 2012

4/10. Drool. This whole set are amazing - what gorgeous light you had for those beautiful girls!

Especially love the field ones. Great job.

4, 5, 10.
I love this set!
Beautiful kids, beautiful lighting, beautiful beautiful!!

May I ask...
all natural lighting or did you use strobes/umbrella?

lilmomma · October 9, 2012

thanks everyone. for those questioning the lighting..all of Ashleigh and the last 4 of Alayna were all natural light. (so all of the field ones were natural light) only a few of alayna under the tree sitting were with an umbrella on the ground in front of her (no flash) as a reflector, and one of them i did have the flash set through the umbrella camera left, number 8. this wasn't a paid deal just for me and my friends to play around so I was experimenting a little with different things.

I love these so much it hurts.

kdog · October 9, 2012

Awesome series.

Just when I thought I was getting good I see these. I love when the rule of thirds can be broken. But I do think 11 doesn't stand up with the others.

Beautiful! By any chance do you use actions by Oh So Posh Photography?

lilmomma · October 16, 2012

missed these additional comments, sorry and THANK YOU all!

Danielle- nope, not a photoshop user. I have it but don't like it! LR gives me the most consistency and the fastest workflow

man..I remember when you 1st came on this board. I thought, "newbie..but she has a decent eye". But I think you have progressed faster then anyone I can think of on this board and I think you are better then 90% of the folks on this board now..including me. Just outstanding.

WOW. that is really quite a compliment, I don't even know what to say ... thank you! I remember being so terrified to post on here because I thought there was no way I could ever match up to the talent here, since honestly i'm an accountant by day, and have never been the artistic type. I learned a lot of what I know on this board.
I'm never truly satisfied with my work but that's what keeps me motivated to improve I guess!

Great job. Stay motivated and keep going. These are beautiful.
