Ok, so I know this is a forum for mostly wedding photographers, so I won't clutter this post with a million pics from a portrait session I did today with a little girl, but I just couldn't resist posting this shot I'm in love with, and those glittering blue eyes! More shots are on my blog if you are interested!

Never ever feel like you can't post non-wedding stuff!

Fun shot!

Shazang!!! Those eyes are amazing!!

Great PP on the pic as well. I love this angle and crop on children!!1

I love it!

I love it even more that when I looked at your blog my Google ad showed up

Gorgeous shot. The colors are beautiful! Nice job.

how fun! she's adorable!

Weddings involve portraits so why not post your FABULOUS kid pics? I LOVELOVELOVE the pictures of little Jayci - I don't know her but feel you've captured her personality. Love the B/W of her sitting on the sidewalk twirling the pearls.

Those are adorable! Your colors are great, i love how they just "POP"

this is so cute! love the pics on your blog, too. Your colors and so bright and vibrant! Love that.

Scarlett,

This is wonderful -- the girl's hat matches your logo perfectly.
You are very talented and we love seeing your non-wedding photos!
Next time you're in Atlanta, we all need to meet up at the LaCour studio for lunch.

Once again your eye for color has inspired me! Love this shot and the shots on your blog!!

I love it! She looks like she had a great time!

wonderful images!!

beautiful photograph-

great color/eyes!

Don't you just love when the eyes sparkle?? Fantastic, Scarlett!

Wow, thanks everyone for the overwhelming response!!!

Amber- Thanks so much. I didn't know if people were really interested in non-wedding stuff, so I didn't want to overdo it. But I'm glad everyone is open to it. I guess photography is photography whatever we are shooting.

Lisa- Thanks girl! I know, this was a fun perspective to capture of her. I love my fish eye lens!

Melody- wow, that's so funny that your ad showed up on my blog! I've been doing google ads too lately and getting a good response. Just pricey!

Anna- Thanks! I know, they were fun colors to play with.

Dan- Thanks!

Juliet- She was adorable wasn't she? A perfect model!

LuckyRedHen- Awwww... that's great that you feel like you could know her personality through the pictures. I'm always trying to capture the emotion that happens when they aren't posing or realizing the camera is on them. So your feedback meant a lot.

Kate and Kris- Thanks! Yeah, I love popping the color. I'm trying to make it my signature style, so I'm glad to hear others like it.

Andrew- Thanks so much! I know, that hat was too cute and definitely in line with my logo. I'd definitely love to see your studio next time I'm in town. Thanks for letting me steal your awesome wife and Erin away for a quick lunch last time!

Josiah- Thanks! I super love your stuff Josiah so your compliment means a lot to me.

Katie- She did. :-) She was fun to play with.

Taka and Lisa- Thanks!

Stephanie- I know, her blue eyes were a photographer's dream!

I'm about to go check out your blog, but you know I love your work! Your colors are AMAZING! Truly, what is your secret?

I eat a lot of colorful M&Ms. ha ha

I guess I need to break down and make a video on how to pop the color. It's really not hard. In bridge, bump the contrast, in Photoshop, use Kabota's cross process. Oila, I'm done.

Beautiful picture - love your blog!

Great shots...love her eyes

Scarlett, I always LOVE your work! I regularly check your blog for inspiration This photo is just so cute. You make those color pop to perfection, I just love it!!!

oops, that was me!

Positively STUNNING eyes, color and pose!!!!! You have such a FUN style Scarlett.

Awwwww... that really means a lot to me. There are so many people's blogs I stalk for inspiration, so it's cool to be on the giving end and know that I'm helping others too. :-)




Thanks for the feedback girl!! I definitely have fun with it!!

It's a mini-Scarlett! Once again you have shot an incredible image. This would look sooo good as a gallery wrap.

I am such a fan of your work! I checked your blog and the pictures of this darling little girl are so perfect. The colors are amazing!

p.s. I also LOVED the shot on your blog of the engaged couple jumping on your bed with the pink wall in the background.

Question for you....

I noticed you use blogger. I use the same. But how do you get your images so large? I love it! I always choose the "largest" option when uploading pictures, but the images are still pretty small. The pictures standout so much more when they are BIG.

Ha ha.. I know, she was definitely a mini-me.






Thanks sweet Rebekkah! In regards to the blog size, I actually upload the images to my own site, and then have custom HTML in the blog that displays the image at it's actual size. I got annoyed too with how the "large" on blogger didn't actually look large, so that's why I came up with the other round about way of doing it. It's a little more tedious, but I would rather have the larger image.

Good to know! Thanks so much. I will give it a try.
