Can you post a couple more from this session? I want to see what else you got out of her. This image is just kinda blah for me.

Really???? Have you ever tried to get ducks in to a row????? You're lucky if you can get them to form a circle!

I'm not done with her session yet. Here's one more...

And I just noticed the horizon is off.

That one is better, but you can push yourself further! Props for angling her so she wasn't growing feet out of her head

Might want to see if you can clone out the one leaf in the foreground.

The processing is nice on this one. The horizon isn't that bad.

Thank you! I cloned out the leaf. Thanks for the tip!

Curios. Was this shot with a 50mm or wider?

....but I don't drink beer and I only like very thin sliced cheese. Guess I'll be working for gas!

In that case you'll be the highest paid photographer on the planet! Lol!

Have you got a website ready with a nice portfolio? You should have enough to get a good one together if you do so many for free. I'd say work out some prices and get all your things together (reg business, insurance etc) and go for it! Thats what I've done. I was sick of offering free sessions. I found ppl don't appreciate thing for free. Paying clients are so different. They pay and value your work. Work out your market and go for it! I have seen sooo many terribly bad photographers lately that charge money and ppl book them. You don't have to worry about it. Your work looks good! Yes, you will always get better and continue learning, but thats no reason not to charge now. And dont sell yourself too cheap, you will regret it later, bc it will be harder to change your prices later. You can offer mini sessions as a special...
Good luck!

This is very true. lol I don't have any desire to do photography "professionally".. ever. But, sometimes I see these "photographers" little facebook pages and I'm like REALLY? I COULD DO THAT!!
