AW: Libbys photoshoot proofs
My photog has put them up on her site for viewing...we have to narrow these 75 down to 40 for our CD with rights.
Wanna see and give me your feedback?
Remember- a lot of these are unedited and need to be cropped, sharpened, color adjusted. I wanted you to be able to pick your favorites based on pose and then I will go in and make all the final touches.
It's hard to believe that it was just a week ago...Libby is already looking SO much bigger and different!
Re: AW: Libbys photoshoot proofs
Eeeee! Cuteness!
OK - these are the ones I love (I realize they won't add up to 40 - they're just my immediate thoughts scrolling through the pics):
#8, 9 & 49 with her asleep in fur lined basket (also the ones with the striped hat just after)
#13 - smooshy face!
#27 & 28 - love the focus from above on her hand
#32, 33 & 39 - my favorite of the group pics - so peaceful)
#35-36 & 38 - Joseph is too cute!
#43 - sweetness
#45 - my favorite of her and you
#53, 55, 56, 59 (prefer this headband over the pink flowered hat), 61, 63, 66, 67, 69 (precious!) - out of the series on the white bedspread, these are my favs
#73 - omg yes, that lamb is adorable!
Not so crazy about 19-24...something about the angle/pose feels kind of awkward to me.

Beautiful shots!
Ok, so I went through them and here's what I would personally go with. Sorry that I haven't written down my thoughts on each one.
#3 - Color is better here as, in black sweaters, you and Joseph just get too 'lost' in the b&w shot. You become 'floating heads' in this b&w shot in other words lol.
#8, #10, #13, #15 (closer crop is better here), #17, #18, $19, #21, #22, #25,
#30, #31, #32, #36, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #46, #48, #52, #56, #57, #58,
#59, #61, #63 (oh that expression is FUNNY!), #64, #65, #66 (this is a better crop and angle), #68, #69, #73.
Ok, 5 short of 40 lol. Looking at all those numbers above, I might have been more helpful if I had have picked my favourites and commented on why I liked them, like Lisa did lol.
I also agree with Lisa that there were quite a few shots where it was too tight a crop and Libby seemed 'crowded' in the shot...and a lot of the angles felt very unnatural and awkward so that's why I didn't include them in the above list.
Otherwise, again, gorgeous shots!
Thank you Tina...it's great to have a professional's opinion.
Yeah, I believe those angles were created when Libby decided to poop a big, yellow, mustardy-squirt poop on that white back drop. NICE! Luckily it was at the end so we had already gotten most of the shots done by then anyway.

i haven't read the other responses but first let me say please don't let her photoshop libby like the baby that is on the page where you enter the password. she looks like a fake porcelain doll and libby is already so cute to begin with...she doesn't need touching up like that! sure, let her fix lighting issues and other things but don't let her touch up libby's skin like that... JMO
hope i'm not offending you if you were particularly keen on getting that done!
ok so i love pretty much all of the ones of her by herself, esp where she is smiling in her sleep... and then here are a few that i particularly like and some i wouldn't get for the CD
not 29, 34, 35, 40, 42-44 (popeye look with one eye closed and one open isn't the best IMO)
love 36, 38, 63, 73
overall they are really great lori! she is so precious

She is ADORABLE and I love the pictures! Makes me jealous that we didn't even think to schedule newborn photos with Brooke. The only picture I felt was 'awkward' was the one where Libby is kind of hanging on someone's arm (I think it's YH). . . not sure why but that's kind of stood out to me.
She is absolutely beautiful though, Lori. I wish there were more awake pictures!

Ah you're welcome.
I'm used to giving other photogs critique (in return for their critique of my shots) so I went into 'critique-mode lol.
And I can guarantee the poop happens a lot in these kind of shoots lol!
