A couple from a recent session. Thank you for viewing.

What a pretty girl, Lorey. Love the light in these shots, too, very well done. I only have one niggle: my eyes are drawn to her teeth, and those are not her best feature. I wonder if her smile could be a bit more subtle and not so pronounced? I dunno, I just look at the teeth and not her eyes .... maybe it's just me.

I quite like shot 2 here. Teeth do look extra white especially in shot 2.

Thanks Matt and Marko. Well, this was my first attempt at using the 'whiten teeth' tool in lightroom. I thought they might be a little on the white side but I was wanting other opinions too. When I whitened them the default setting was even brighter than what you see. I brought it down some from the default but I guess not quite enough. Luckily LR edits are nondestructive so it'll be just a matter of moving the slider down some more and saving it. Your input has been helpful. I appreciate it!

I toned the teeth down a bit and I think it does look better. Any input on my changes?

Yes, much better on the second go around. I also favour her more relaxed pose in shot number 2 though I would expect she'd be happy with either. Both shots are reasonably technically sound but the second come out ahead due to the moment that was captured.
