white is my nemesis...

...that being said, I'm fairly pleased with how these came out. I've been feeling like I'm in an artistic slump lately. I think it started after having to leave my littlest muse in CA. Good thing the Pigbear is always up for a little hamming action! That combined with my new lens coming sometime this week, a stack of photog books awaiting me at the library, and discovering a great deal on the latest version of Photoshop that I've been drooling over, maybe I'll get out of it soon. If Brandy would just have her baby and give me someone new to photograph I'm sure it would be all good! (nothing like a little guilt trip to get the oxytocin flowin', right?)









I'm still not sure which picture I'll enter for the competition. I'm rethinking whether it should be a headshot or not, and all of your choices were. I may have to narrow it down to the top 3 and just let you guys pick!

These pix are fantastic! Are these on Shutterfly? I want to order copies. (Sarah is just looking so grown up!)

I love the third picture. She looks so grown up in that picture. She seems to be getting closer to her toddler stages and getting out of her little baby stage.

Erin these pictures are awesome! Can't wait to see what you can do with your new lense. Sarah is adorable and she looks so big, did she add on a few months over night? Awaiting the results of the new lens..... Gina

Dee Dee - these pictures are just too cute. I am going to have to print a couple of these out. We are quickly running out of shelf space at our house.

These are great! I love how expressive her face is and the coloring of her skin, lips, and eyes with all that white! Hope you're feeling better. . . if you took these while you were under the weather I can't wait to see your work when you're healthy!

Terry said...

Great pictures, Deed. She is such a little doll and you definitely know how to capture that. Hope you are feeling better. Love, Mom

Absolutely Beautiful! How sweet and innocent are these?!?! I think the white background is definitely your friend. Sorry chica, find a new nemesis...

The white looks great!! I missed the first round of voting but if you give me another chance I'll try to make it up. I'm slowing becoming a faithful blog-checker thanks to your wit and talent!!

Me too, Jennifer! I'm a reformed slacker dying to vote.

Erin, these pics are beautiful. But you've set the bar so high that we just expect it now. :)

The pictures look great Erin. You are a perfectionist! I'll try to get this baby moving. - Brandy

Just picture proof of what an angel my Sarah is! I like this new style...it seems different then your regular pictures, more studio professional than candid professional.
GREAT job!
