Beautiful Heidi! Gorgeous family but man you certainly know your stuff! What's your secret with the eyes? Is it your camera or more with Photoshop? You always catch the "perfect" look with children's eyes...which is so rare with a lot of photographers. Can't wait to see more!
Jodi~ It is a combination of thing... I'm sure having a nice camera helps, but I try to have kids look up a little, which helps them open their eyes wider. Never use flash. Take photos in open shade (or on a cloudy day) (less squinting and harsh shadows!) and have them look toward the light source, that sort of thing. I do enhance the catch lights in Photoshop, some more than others.
Oh my word. They are such a beautiful family! So sweet : ). I love your pictures. I saw at Susan's site that you had visited together. I LOVE your book club pictures : )
Wow, absolutely stunning. I love every shot. You really captured this family beautifully. Your skills are amazing and I love the colors and natural editing you achieved. I'm nowhere near where you are at but I hope to get there someday...even halfway there would be good. :-)
What a beautiful family!
