Babysitter turned model!

We have the best babysitter in the world! The kids adore her and she is so nice and kind. We love her and are happy that she is part of our lives. Well yesterday, after a little begging and pleading, she let me take her picture and her mom got in the act as well. It was so much fun!! Here are some of my favorites!


She says that she isn't very photogenic....what she is a beauty!!! Thanks Charlotte!!!

Any constructive criticism would be wonderful - I am so trying to get better at using my camera!

You're going a great job!

My bit of CC is this.

On the closeup with the one with her hat, she does not have any light to her eyes, so they appear a bit sunken. Hats are tough. You could try using a reflector to bring back a little light into her eyes to see if that helps.

On the last one, cutting her off right below the knees is a bit awkward, but that's just a cropping thing. I may crop more mid thigh or lower if you have the room.

Cute girl and cute shots, she'll really like these!

Looks like you are getting comfortable with your camera. These are lovely, and I really like your perspective on the 3rd one. Good way to mix it up a bit!

These are all so fun.
I agree with Heather.. a little more light in her eyes on the closeup and the amputation thing.
Still really great poses and beautiful photos.

She is such a pretty girl! Your composition is nice in these (i just notice the knee like Heather mentioned). They are just a tad dark to me, a slight curves adjustment would help that. Your subjects look very comfortable with you, great job!!

I'd say she is wrong, she's is great. I really like the one with the cowboy hat. And what a great photographer you are, I've noticed in the last couple blogs! Great job!

She is a very cute girl. I think these are good. I like the way you posed her with her mom, and I really like #3. They do look a bit dark to me also, maybe adjust your levels a bit.

I really like the 3rd and 4th ones. What ISO were you at?

Amy said...
