Beautiful girls

Great contrast without any loss of important shadow detail

Cheryl:The expressions are wonderful. But what really gets me about this and the others you have posted today are the hands and feet.You do great work with hands and feet! And generally with people who are not professional models.

Thanks for the comments. Matt, yeah, I am very picky about hands and feet, especially hands. A clumsy handy can destroy a portrait and add the appearance of a lot of extra body weight. I tend to gently educate my subjects as we go -- they come away feeling more confident about how to look their best in photographs without that aspect overshadowing the connection I work hard for. It's kind of a dance.

Beautiful is right, both the subjects and the photo.

This is a wonderful picture. There's a lot of love there, the bonds are strong.

Great composition and use of ambient light, beautiful mood altogether. Congrats
