Julie's 5 Year Old Picture

For those of you who have been with me for a while, you know that I take my kids' annual photos myself (not that I'm a great photographer by any means, but to save money). Here's what I have for Julie's 5 year old photo. Which do you like best?

This would be my favorite except I don't like the way the color of her dress bleached out in the middle. I might be able to edit it, but it would take me a while.

I really like the way the flowers on her dress match the real flowers.

This is the same spot where we did her 4 year old photo. Once I decide on an official pose, I'll have to post one from each of the last 4 years.

This won't be the official photo, but I like it a lot :).


I hope you'll weigh in and help me decide!!

I like the first and second ones! I don't think her dress is bleached out too much in the first, but I love the matching flowers of the second one!

You might check out mckmama's (www.mycharmingkids.net) blog for editing tips- I think she has some in there somewhere!

I cannot believe she's 5!!! I think her expressions are a little more "active" in the 2nd and 3rd, probably would pick the second one as my favorite.

I think all 3 look great-seriously! i wouldn't worry about the "bleached out" part of the dress-from someone who is objective you can't notice and it does not affect the photo at all-really. :) GREAT job! Good backdrops too!
