Feedback on session

[MS Photo]

So, this has to be the session that I am most proud of so far. I wanted to share it with you guys to see if you could give me some feedback. I'm about to head off to a workshop w/ my idol in the Lifestyle Baby field and am sooo excited and nervous!! Anyway, I'd love to hear any opinions...good, bad, preferences...I love critiques.

That and I wanted to show you guys some more of this girl's perfect nursery ;)

BTW, you can pause the show at any time to check a picture longer.

Here's the SHOW (http://www.mariahsmith.com/Show/Ally)

Those are GORGEOUS! I think my faves are the B&W of the babe on the comfy chair, and in front of the pillow with her name... Awesome job :thumb

[Theresa]

WOW! Great pictures! I love the one of her sucking her fingers and then sucking on dad's nose. The pictures are just beautiful.

[Stacey]

So sweet! I about cried when I saw the one where she was latching on to her dads nose. You did a great job :)

I stopped watching about there because I suddenly missed the newborn stage. Your pictures are beautiful Mariah! I love the subtle details of each photo, it's hard to explain but like how one photo was of dad and baby and his wedding ring really stood out to me, I don't know but I like that stuff. Is there a term for that? ;) Good composition

[Maritza]

Beautiful pictures Mariah! you really captured the moment!

[tggrr2]

Great pictures. Some of them I wouldn't have think about taking as wish I would have.

[KaisaG]

Those are amazing - but I wouldn't have expected anything else ;)

[tcolera]

Those are amazing. You capture those moments that really get to me in a way that nothing else possibly can. I have gotten past the baby stage and am fine with it, till I see your pictures, I can't even describe the feeling. But since this is a mommy group i am sure eveyone knows what I mean.:) Thanks so much for sharing!!

[erin anne]

Those are fantastic pictures and they emote very well. My favorite is the one where the parents are kissing with their hands on the baby.

....and how cool is their house! I was admiring their front door.

Thanks ladies...I really appreciate it..I'd love to respond to each but I'm way too tired...just know I really appreciate all your input!!!

"Lifestyle Portraiture"...woo hoo...that means I did it right, sweeeet!

You capture those moments that really get to me in a way that nothing else possibly can.

That's also a goal of Lifestyle Portraiture...RIGHT ON!! I'm so stoked these are translating the way I want them too...whew, thanks!

and how cool is their house! I was admiring their front door.

Dude...you don't even know...the house/land was amazing...they practically had to kick me out :)

[becky]

those are incredible. they are are amazing Mariah. Great job. My favorites are those of her sucking her fingers. :D

[Leigh]

So darling how that little baby found her fingers!

I loved the one a picture or two after she tried to latch on Daddy's nose and was pissed that she didn't get any goodies there! :lol

My favorite is only about 4-6 pics in, where Ally is on what looks like a pile of coordinating blankets? I like the solids/stripes ummmm... orderliness with the little unorderly baby on top.

[lizirroja]

I really liked the Daddy and baby ones. So sweet!

Yeah, I had to stop too! I wish I had more professional pics of the babes when they were so little. It has only been 5 months, but they are just getting so darn BIG! I was totally misty eyed watching the pictures.

[khanson]

No critique here, they are gorgeous!

[Lorah]

WOW! I was tearing up! I love the B&W with the parents looking in awe at their baby! I like the one where the baby is crying and the mom has that awe its okay look on her face when the dad is holding the babe....so real....:)

Mav was jumping up and down yelling bebe, bebe, bebe, and smiling and getting super excited! He also loves them! :)

[colleen&Kail]

beautiful pics! i am so in love with the baby's room!!!!!!

[MS Photo]

Thanks all....it's so great that all of you have different fav's...that really tells me a lot about my work...especially the ones w/ her crying and the really non traditional ones...it's great to see that people are actually getting from them what I want them too...so thank you thank you thank you!

Seriously, the nursery wall is two tone pink diamonds w/ black dots in the crossings...so crazy...I can't believe they painted that..stripes would even scare the heck out of me :)

[becky]

the nursery is amazing. i love it.

I really do long you there are some many different things about each photo that catch a different tender moment. You rock at lifestyle photography!

[TaivensMama]

those were awesome, and how could you not get awesome shots with what they had to offer with that amazing house and beautiful family! you really captured some beautiful moments I am sure they will just cherish
