Sorry, I can't figure out how to delete the duplicate image.

They are lovely as far as I can see.  You are a beautiful young lady.  Keep up the good work!

You are a natural model, Misty. You look very comfortable in front of the camera. You certainly know how to shoot portraits. You being blond, makes the dark backdrop perfect for the back light that highlights your beautiful hair...Great shots by the way.

Here are my very minor suggestions as shown in the photos below. The face is a tiny bit too bright and I reduced the highlight in Photoshop. I also used the healing brush to eliminate those unflattering shades under your left eye. And .. oh. is that a pimple on your right cheek? I deleted that one too.

Because your left hand is not seen completely, I would rather see it cropped.

Keep up the good work and keep posting your awesome shots! God bless you.

Thanks for the compliments and the suggestions.  Very helpful!

The only thing I don't agree with is deleting the mole.  I know it is not attractive, but it is me and I am opposed to changing things like that.  If a client specifically asks, then I will do that and I do clean up acne, just not those things that are there everyday on someone.

I agree. You have to be who you are. At the time of the processing, I did not know much about you. I thought it was a pimple. So sorry. But....you are still one gorgeous photographer with or without it.

Nothing to apologize for Mario.   Like I said, I would remove pimples too. 

I also appreciate the kind words.  Self esteem is something I don't have, or want truth be told, so it is awkward for me to hear anyone use terms such as the ones you have used to describe me.   

You are created in the image of God, He made you and formed you knowing what you would look like.  Don't let your looks take over but don't be ummmm as you say awkward about them either.   Accept what God has created, and thank Him for it.

Well said, Judy and AMEN!

Hi Judy....I completely agree in that we should accept what God has given us, and I do accept that!    That is why I said I don't WANT that self esteem.  I don't want to get in my head that I have something above others in appearance-that would put me in a place I don't need to visit.  I am content with the vision God created.  That's all I need to be.  

Amen well said!
