Hi Olivia!

I was browsing through your categories (your facebook page link didn’t work for me?) and it looks pretty nice at first glance. I’m not someone with double-digit years of experience in photography, but here are my comments on your website with pretty basic things I picked up on:

Seniors: Some of the senior portraits had bluish skin tones, so maybe white balance correction could fix this? (probably because you took the picture in the shade? I forget to adjust white balance when lighting situations change sometimes too, and AWB doesn’t always account for that.) Also, the faded/low-contrast look you’re going for makes some of the more fair-skinned girls look extra pale, in my opinion.

Maternity: On the ones where the shots are indoors (like the one where a woman is on a bed) the noise in the photo becomes really noticeable.

Families/Portraits: (you have a typo in the category name… did you mean “families” instead of “family’s”?) Here, I noticed the same thing from the senior portraits with the bluish skin tones due to them being taken in the shade (which is a good move, but you just gotta adjust for white balance). Then again, is that the look you’re going for? Also, the eyes on some people might be over-edited as well? Looks a bit unnatural.

And that’s all I had the energy to look through tonight. I have put off sleeping long enough haha. Hope that helps!
