A Young Mother in Repose by Weezilou

A Young Mother in Repose

Today Ashley described herself as having been "sleep deprived for over a year now", so when she had the opportunity to stretch out on the couch while Dylan took his morning nap, I recorded the moment. This evening we discussed photography and some recently printed photographs, and she asked me about HDR. Though this was a single image, we sat together and played with it a bit, letting her set the parameters she liked. Personally, I love the outcome; it's nice to see her relaxing and looking relaxed.

This is a great candid shot. She does look relaxed here, very natural feeling you've captured.

This is outstanding, Louise! Candid yet technically polished. Great balance between the two.

The adjustments work very well, and it brings out a nice soft tone and color. A beautiful photo of a beautiful young Lady

This is gorgeous! I love the warmth of her skin tone and the background colors. Of course it does help that she's so beautiful to begin with... :-)

A great street shot on your couch! Relaxed indeed. I wonder what that's like.

@stray_shooter Trust me, Ron, she deserved the break! She's got a 13 month old who has never slept through the night! And she holds down a job as well, albeit, fortunately, at the computer from home! She's an amazing mom to her boys & I'm amazed at how calm she often remains when I'd want to run away! Here, I was celebrating her tranquil moment!
