D.Cyzon - Caroline, Your photography BLOWS ME AWAY !!! My favorite is the baby/mommy feet. I have to go get a tissue you now because your baby shots got me all sappy and weepy. These pictures could cause a HUGE baby boom !

February 1, 2010 - 2:31 pm

Susan - Love these!! Can I ask a question? Did you use all natural lighting for these, or did you use a flash or studio lights?

February 1, 2010 - 2:39 pm

Caroline Ghetes - Susan, 95% of the images in this post are using available natural lighting :) The b&w shot of the family of four jumping, the girl in the green dress with the birdhouse, and the same girl in the yellow dress inside the barn were all lit with a Canon 580 EXII flash & Pocket Wizard Plus II’s.

January 25, 2010 - 2:55 pm

Chris Whitcomb - I so love the feeling this images gives, timeless and warm. The only thing I would revisit is the Clone Stamp, I can still see where the outlets were. Thank you for the step by step, I’m going right now to try this look on a few images of my own.

Dina - WOW!! That is the most ADORABLE baby I have ever seen. But then again I may be biased b/c I am his mommy. :) Caroline, great pic!! Cannot wait to see more. We really enjoyed our session and are so excited about seeing more images.

Jane Hasty - Love to see how other photographers do their stuff! Great job! Jane

Caroline Ghetes - Thank you everyone! Chris, thank you for letting me know, however it’s so strange but I REALLY can’t see it from my monitor at all. The only thing I’m thinking is maybe my monitor is brighter and you can’t see imperfections as well on maybe other monitors that may be darker and show more? I’ll see if I can perfect it, otherwise ; )
