just Sayler...

The other night, I went out with another local photographer for a photo playdate and dinner. The sun was still a bit too bright, so we decided to eat first...bad idea. When we got up to leave..we noticed that lots of people were running in with umbrellas..a huge storm rolled in. UGH! The kids were really wanting to cooperate..and we couldn't. We stood there..for about an hour..just staring out at the rain..hoping it would let up..and the sun would peek through. Well..at about 8pm..it stopped, which left us with about 3 minutes of light left. This was the only shot that came out..and I have to admit..I love it! I can't believe this girl is eight..my goodness..what on earth will she look like when she's a teen...

Color or black/white??

SOOO pretty!! Do you do editing to her complexion to make it so smooth and milky? I LOVE IT.

I am almost always a color photo girl and I love the color of her hair...I wanted it and then I prayed for a child with it, but no luck anyway....
I can't believe it but I love it in black and white.
She is beautiful either way, though!

TOtally the color one for me. She's got amazing eyes and the color is just beautiful, so you obviously lose that in the B&W. It is pretty in b&W too though, I just like the color one better. Very nice.

Like both color and b/w pictures

Beautiful girl!

Holly said...

Both are beautiful - but the color wins it for me! Love them both!

I loooove B&W photos, but for this one, I'm voting color all the way. You can't beat that beautiful chocolate color in the hat and the way it goes with her eyes so perfectly. Oh, she's gorgeous!
