Yesterday, I bought some pink fleece to use as a backdrop. I didn't think about using wrinkle releaser until it was too late...the background would look soooo much nicer had it been smoother...:-( These are all unedited...
I also bought some paper parasols at Hobby Lobby for $3 a pop!! Hannah was spinning the umbrella when I took this picture: I like the pop in color and that you can see her hair all done up and you can even tell the umbrella was in motion.
I tried and tried to get full body shots, but I just didn't have enough space. I need to spread the backdrop out more and until I move more stuff around in my office, I can't do that. So, I resorted to some close-ups, just not-so-close-up.
Here is one full body shot I got, but there is a slight shadow on the backdrop because she was too close to it. I bought this "floor" paper at Hobby Lobby yesterday too, but they only had 20 sheets...I probably need at least 10 more to make this wide enough to use with a wider backdrop...
And then I tried a different perspective. I stood on a bucket to look down at her...
I have to give it to Hannah...she was a real trooper today and has been throughout this class. She has given up playing with friends, has let me dress her and fix her hair, and has posed the way I asked all without really complaining.
My office definitely gets great light...I just have to figure out how to give myself more space!! It's supposed to be warmer and sunny tomorrow. I'm going to try again tomorrow, but if I can't, I'm probably going to use 3 out of the 4 posted here.
Wish me luck!

All four of them look great! I think the first one is interesting. The second one looks awesome-one I would purchase for sure. The third one is good, but I think I would like it better if you laid out the backdrop behind and below her and she sat on it-it would maybe look more studio-like. With her on the floor it looks like someone took it at home with a pink wall behind her. This is the only pic where the wrinkles are evident to me. The last one is great, just be sure to watch the top of her shirt so it doesn't look like you can see down it. Again, I think I would have liked something different under her besides the floor-maybe the backdrop again. The picture from the other post looks really good! I see what you mean about her hands being cut off, but not the focus in her eyes- I thought it looked very professional. In fact, all of them do-but the floor and wall kind of throws the one off. The one with the yelllow umbrella adds color, but light too. I think you are making great strides! Good luck with your final assignment!
I think Sue covered it all. I really like them all. The umbrella was very cool. My favorite was the one where you were looking down at her. The lighting is really good in that room and I think it's all going to work well for you. Let me know how you do on the assignment.
