    Blue Eyed and Beautiful

    Here is a shot from yesterday...
    My neighbors grandfather had passed away, and me and my girlfriend baby sat their baby so they could go to the viewings and such with ease. So I thought it may cheer them up to have a couple new photos of their little girl.

    Managed to grab these three shots. She has bright blue eyes, and I didn't do any post processing to the eyes, just the rest of the photo. I can't believe how the window light made her eyes light up so good.

    These photos were actually just snapped, they weren't staged or posed at all.
    Please rip me apart on these photos!

    Third one is pretty nice. Don't know how to do babies. Your treatment looks nostalgic, which seems off for babies. The images are very nice though. WTF do I know?

    Re: Blue Eyed and Beautiful

    I was going for a warm look, with piercing eyes.

    I don't photograph many babies, but I thought these ones came out pretty well.

    Thanks Daq

    It is warm overall, but it has that faded look of older photos. Which is why I mentioned nostalgia. It looks very good, but it is a bit ironic with babies.

    No, it's nice. I suspect most people really like it.

    Re: Blue Eyed and Beautiful

    Then your job is done as a photographer than. To me thats what it is all about. when someone is down you bring a smile to their face from a shot you took.
