I really enjoyed capturing those big, beautiful eyes. The catch lights in her eyes make her eyes sparkle and brilliant. Remember, to get those little lights spots in the eyes, have your subject look up slightly. I ran a little unsharp mask in Photoshop to sharpen up her eyes a bit. Why they call that filter an “unsharp” mask I may never understand! I like to keep my post processing minimal as I don’t really have the time to touch up each and every shot. Keeping it clean and natural looking is what I was going for here.

Chloe’s mom thinks her daughter’s eyes look bigger in my photos, but I swear they really are that big! Gorgeous!
