Fall shoot with my neighbor's daughter

[arcooke]

This was my first time to actually go out and take pictures of someone. Lighting is off in a few of them.. but I only have so much to work with right now having only owned my camera a month. I have a single 42" circular reflector (gold/silver/white/black, used gold and silver for these).

This girl is so photogenic.. and awesome in front of a camera. I had a lot of fun.. and got over some of my fears of shooting in public.

Nice set! The light looks beautiful in the second (my favorite), a nit pick would be to get the whole hand holding the flowers in that shot.

Least liked is the shot through the fence. But I don't hate it.

She actually picked those flowers and asked for a picture with them.

Thanks for the reply

She looks like a natural in front of the camera

I see a future model. Great shots!

#1: Can you clone out the cable on the wall above and the right to her head. It caught my attention right away.

#5: Too bad there is a hot spot on the left side of the face and neck. Even so, it is a good capture.

The other images are good! I particularly like the through the fence image (#4) as it is different then 99% of images that we usually see.

#6 is my favorite out of these. She looks so relaxed and enjoying the session. I like the PP also. The colors in #2 are nice and vivid.

Good job. She really does look like she knew what she was doing. I wish I could get adults that looked that natural half...well more than half the time!

Really nice set; the colors in #2 are great!

Great start and I agree with the others that she seems quite comfortable in front of the camera.

Just a couple of thoughts to consider.
Strategic use of your reflector to lift the shadows under the brim of the hat would've been a dramatic improvement by lighting her face.
Dappled light from underneath trees is rarely attractive for your model. Having an assistant to hold your diffuser would remove the uneven lighting.
