Lovely tones on #1
#2 Love love love the way the BG color and sweater tie into the eyes and let the eyes dominate. This is a truly wonderful portrait. IMO the lighting is superb and perfect
#3 a completely different mood felt here, personally I don't care for what seems a wee bit too hard on contrast but then again it is growing on me.
Lovely work Lisa and you have a lovely daughter too, quite the team.

Beautiful portrait....just curious...what is the catchlight I'm seeing in her eyes? From the open garage door? Is she facing the door opening? It almost looks like side light to me...Thanks
Thanks everyone! The catchlights are from the open garage door, I clamp black fabric across the bottom 3 1/2 feet of the opening or so to prevent uplighting from the driveway outside.
Beautiful. Since you've asked. The 1st is amazing, and I prefer the black/white over the color in your new addition. Something about her look is this tad bit more 'distinct' (for the lack of a better word) IMHO.

So crazy that we've all gotten to see your kids grow up over the past several years. Very nice portrait
of your daughter. I actually prefer the 2nd and 3rd, just because of wardrobe selection in the 1st. And I'm
not sure how I feel about the hair sweeping under the face. But as always, the light is superb, and her eyes
continue to be unreal.

You should probably have some more kids.
I'm half joking.
Haha, thank you! I'm on it - I'm currently 24 weeks with a baby girl due in early May - our LAST for sure. lol
Really nice. As always you are a master at lighting and seamless retouching. Imagine your daughter must be ecstatic with this set. My only quibble is the eyelashes which seem over edited.
