unfortunately we only had an hour to do for photos with him, and he was wide awake the whole time. We didn't get too many good ones, but it was just a "mini session" any way, not that I offer mini sessions for newborns, lol

Awesome job!

I think as a whole you did a great job and I think you got a good amount of variety and you really worked on doing some creative angles so two thumbs up on that. They also look happy and relaxed which is important and a lot of people can't get that. Processing wise I think they look pretty good and clean but I do find a lot of them pretty cool WB wise, I'll note on the individual ones. Here's some individual thoughts:

1: I like the feel on it although I wish the DOF was a little deeper.. although with this ring that might not be ideal since I can already see the inclusions in the diamond. But the feel is neat.

2: The diamond is a little blown in this one. I know, it can be tricky sometimes. But I like how you can see a bit more detail on the boots while still being fairly close to the ring.

3: I love the light here ad I think the composition is good. I wish her hands were a little further back on his face, that I could see a bit of her face and perhaps his hands were on her waist to give her body more definition. She is a curvy girl (I saw she's very busty) so I like to use the male's hands to really help define a waist on curvy ladies.

4 + 5: Cute interactions, I mainly wish she was touching his arm or waist as well instead of having her hand hang down.

6: The angle looking up is a little bit TOO much for my tastes.. I can see how it might be difficult to get a similar pose lower down because of their height simularities. It's fine I think, just feels a little forced for MY tastes. Also - I dunno if you retouched them at all or it's just the light but I feel her eyes seem pretty white. But it might be her makeup playing tricks.

7/8: The downward angle works better for me here.

9: lol - my couple in March (wedding) wanted this shot too. It's fine but feels very cool in tone to me. Their skin looks purple-ish.

10: I don't really have an issue with this, pose wise (although I wish his head was at a slightly different angle to give more definition to his chin) and there is nice light in her eyes.- but this one feels cool too and with the vignette it's making their skin around the edges and his head very purple/red.

11/12 (#12 is there twice): I like them, I think they're cute.. the light is great.. they just feel cool/magenta to me.

13: Ideally no foot chop but it doesn't bother me that much.. just same processing notes, cool and magenta. Cute moment and see how his arms on her waist help change the shape of her body?

14: I like the idea but same notes as earlier regarding her body shape and also processing.

15: Not really my tastes you know, haha.. but it's fine for what it is.

16: Honestly not my favorite, sorry. I don't think it's very flattering for either of them. She looks like she has to force herself down and slumped over (because their height is so similar) and that is not flattering to her body shape. Also, if I have a guy turned around I prefer to have him looking to the side so you can see their face, but it wouldn't have worked as well with the height thing again.. Also have a little foot chop and some weird lighting on her back. Sorry! lol.

17/18/19 - All are cute although I'd like to see more warmth.

20/21: I really love the idea here, especially just seeing a bit of her mouth although I do wish I could see a little more of the front of the ring since it feels like it's a 'show off the ring' type shot.

22 - 27: I think they're all fine I just think they need warming up lol. I sound like a broken record, huh? I also think #25 could be a little brighter, it feels a little dark.

28: Looks fine to me for the shot it is.  

Okay.. whew.. that was tiring. lol.
