That brings us to lighting. I absolutely prefer natural lighting
and we worked with what we had, but I did end up using my flash (just
the pop-up on my camera with a diffuser) for many of the shots. After
this shoot, I came home and ordered my off camera flash. I don't think
it will arrive soon enough! :) My colors are very different from one pic
to the next due to the changes in lighting, so it has made editing a
bit of a nightmare, especially since I have been trying to maintain some
consistency in the color from picture to picture. I converted a number of them to B&W and that helped, but doesn't solve the problem. Guess that's why they call it a learning experience! :)
I also used this as an opportunity to really sharpen up my photoshop skills. I wanted to make baby's skin silky smooth - dreamy. So after spot healing little blemishes, I smoothed out her skin using an action in the Florabella Retouch and Makeover action pack called Natural Skin Smoother. It worked amazingly and I am personally very happy with how these pics are turning out.
Thank-you again to this sweet baby's Mommy for letting me "play" with her! We had fun - let's do it again sometime... :)
