Great work. The portraits are especially fetching. She seems so comfortable in front of the camera. I love the "Jewel meets Taylor Swift" thing she has going on there.
Don't take this the wrong way (either of you) but she looks just a bit "chunky" or "thick around the waist" in the last several photos. I don't get the feeling from the other photos that she is that way but the combination of her outfit and some of the shooting angles is not flattering to my eyes. Otherwise a tremendous set. Wonderful photos of a very pretty young woman.

So, I updated my Facebook status to see if anyone might be interested. Shortly thereafter, I got a response from a friend of mine who's been telling me for quite a while that she wants me to photograph her daughter. She was ready to get it underway within two hours, but I told her I had to make some arrangements with a friend of mine to see if I could use his place to take some shots and that we ought to shoot for the early afternoon, just to give him a little bit of notice. I called, he agreed, and we all went out there and started shooting. This is the product after my initial run-through of the more easily workable shots: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157634187251295/ All shot with the K-5 and F50/1.7 with my recently purchased flash unit attached. I didn't bother with any wireless stuff as I wanted to play it safe and didn't want any big surprises. Also, I didn't realize until I got home that I'd had the diffuser in my pocket the whole time. So, some of the shots came out a tad harsh, but overall, I have to say I'm pretty pleased with what I was able to do. All shots were done hand-held with manual flash. Comments appreciated.
