I missed this whole thread somehow.

Wonderful work, Alison. It's lovely as a series, but you definitely have some standouts here - I like the last one the best. Great portrait!

 

[Alison]

Thanks everyone! I was surprised that Mom & Dad ordered most of the ones posted here. Typically I have very different favorites from shoots than the parents. I did add several to my website for portfolio use as well.

Alison these are fantastic...I am surprised at the quality of these (although from you I come to expect it)

 

[sunshine]

Oh, I LOVE them all! But if I had to chose I would say #2 and #3

The last one does it for me also, you got some great captures there Alison

 

[Alison]

Thank you for all of the comments! We just finished printing up her order and holiday cards. I haven't taken any photos since these and I'm excited to get back to shooting again after the baby is born!

Those are all great! From what I have seen in a few other threads, you have exceptional work Alison! I never thought of donating my photography work before. I'll have to look into that once I establish myself better.
Edit:
Oh and I forgot to ask. You said that it was a difficult shoot because of the overcast day because it made you images flat? I had one of my best shoots ever when it was overcast. I liked it because I could pose them anywhere and didn't have to keep finding shady areas to pose them in. I am just wondering if you could explain a little more on why overcast days are not ideal in your opinion? I am just curious because maybe there are some things in my photos from my overcast day that I haven't noticed.

 

[Alison]

In general overcast isn't bad, as long as you get some light filtering througn. You're exactaly right that at times it can be ideal, but in this particular case the lighting was so flat, it was really cloudy and right before a storm. There was just no good lighting ratio to work with and even the reflectors weren't much help. Usually I love a partly cloudy day where there is diffuse light coming through, this one was just...well...flat is the only way I can describe it

 

[JonK]

fantastic series of shots alison...really first rate. They must have been thoroughly pleased with them.
I think the light worked out perfectly. overcast is best for portraits like this. we get to see all the detail and saturation of colour and tone.

Beautiful photos! My son is 13 months old and I am also trying to make some nice portraits. Still trying. Yours are simply fantastic!
