Beautiful! Try getting a "catch light" in the eyes to give them more life. I know my photos miss that sometimes and I can't believe the difference it makes.
A catch light is the light reflected in the eye. Sometimes a flash will create a catch light, or better yet a window or mirror. I have even used a car hub cap to catch light in the eye, anything that reflects. It really brings the eyes to life. Does that make sense?

Okay, Daina... you're going to have to explain what a "catchlight" is. Thanks!
Cute! I love the pics you take of that little one. Are you sharing them with her Mama?
