Description
This was a diversion from my outdoorsy pics and will be the first in a series of portraits. My friend, Cindi, called with an SOS to me. The photographer she originally hired had to cancel a photo session due to our March blizzard. She asked if I could help out and take a few shots of her for her CD cover.
Not knowing what I was getting into...with NO studio and minimal lights, I agreed to try to help her out. So...here we are in her bedroom using only window light and one reflector panel.
Not bad for a music teacher, eh? (Thanks to Andreas for his help on resizing this image!)
Shot in RAW with Nikon D70, f5.6 1/80 and a bit of postwork in PSCS.

a wonderful portrait, i like her very sympathic expression and smile. the light is very beautiful. an excellent photography, Jodie. * TOP NOTCH * #:O)
OOOH!!!! Shes beautiful Jodie, and your photo sure do her justice. Gorgeous shot! Might as well be studio-work you know. I cant tell a difference at least. Perfect as CD-cover!!! I see ya went with a chair as well....only not out in the snow. #;o) Have a lovely evening! #:O)
Excellent portrait. Looking forward to the next in this series!
I'd say you achieved a professional status with this -- and (best of all perhaps) a very natural look. And that's got to be the proverbial million dollar smile that you captured, not forced and looking like a very genuine grin.
Your effort resulted in a perfect natural lighting picture. Excellent and good luck with the others to come!
WOW!!!! SEE LOOK AT this music teacher DO HER STUFF!!! .. yes! WHAT AN amazing portrait you have done of your gorgeous friend Cindy! I bet word is sure going to spread around town just how amazing your photography is!!! next thing you know your band hall will also be serving as a photstudio !! LOL! .. beautiful work !!..
Brilliant work,Jodie.I would never know this wasn't a studio shot...it certainly is studio quality.She must be thrilled!It's perfect.She looks lovely and the colors,lighting,pose,mood,are all wonderful.Bravo for you!!!!
Excellent portrait! I love the natural lighting! And Cindi is a good model,I hope she'll have a lot of success with her CD! Bravo!!!

Well, looks professional to me. I love photos or portrait shots using natural light. :o)
Ohh so wonderful shot!

So fresh and beautiful ! Gorgeous model, gorgeous portrait ! Excellent work ! Thanks for sharing !!!
Very nice and cool portrait of an extremely pretty lady ! Excellentissime work, Jodie ! :~)
Brilliant image'its a very profesional shot** hope she does well well with the cd......you might even have a captive market at Rosity. Well Done
You have captured a wonderfully natural portrait Bravo Jodie
Great job Jodie considering the shortage of equipment.This young woman Cindi promotes a generous smile and chose her outfit well.Nice soft tones and gratefully a very natural makeup application should boost sales!...?....hmmm......didn't catch what she was selling but anyway. :) :B eaver !
I love this, Jodie, and I suspect Cindi does too. (Now the potentially unpopular bit! But read it all, it's not bad) We are led to believe that all Americans have faces full of botox and plastic - so, like the beautiful Jane Fonda, your friend is a refreshing and naturally beautiful antidote to that idea. Of course, she has had one of the best photographers (in the world!) do her over - so how lucky is that! However, having said all of that - possibly too much - you are STILL my fave, sweet Lady.
Excellent portrait with a very authentic and natural look. Very nice!
Looks very professional to me.... Gets my vote This is excellent Vote n hugs Susan~
such a wonderful portrait...so razor-sharp...you have a new camera?
If I had her for a music teacher I be singing now or playing a flute. real cool looking and the shot looks super
You captured a very happy moment from a beautiful lady. Crystal clear shot with great lighting and set up.

Hard to pick a favorite from the 3 you've posted, they are all just terrific portraits. This one seems the warmest and most inviting though.
