Photoshoot - Cecilia
A friend of mine from Samuel's Little Gym class was kind enough to bring her daughter over and let me practice some techniques on her. Cecilia was a dream to work with - she followed directions to a T and was a total ham for the camera! I wish all kids were this easy (including my own!) Her only wish was to take pictures with her fancy dress, where her personality really shined through. What a cutie!

Were you using lighting with these? it looks very natural, only problem is with the 2nd one where you've got a bit much shadow on her left compared to the other side, and her face is in the dark :)
hi B! I was using natural sunlight that was coming through my dining room window (it's a slider door so lots of light). I had the backdrop set at 45 degrees to the window. And yeah, I realized in the second picture her face is more shadowed, I got her to turn around for the rest of the shoot but she was twirling in the "fancy dress" and I couldn't miss the shot at the happiness on her face. :)
so kind of like this:

figured it was natural light, might be worth investing in a reflector, they do come in handy for bouncing some light onto the other side in situations like that, even if you can get a big board of polystyrene, the white generally does enough light bouncing to do the job without having to pay for a reflector!
I presume you know who this is btw, it's just using my blogger account which I use for the biking blog, which I'm keeping fairly anonymous
I do actually have white foamboard, but forgot to bring it out for this shoot! live and learn, eh?
and yes, your location plus the B gave you away. ;)
