Beautiful! I love all the sparkles... Her eyes. Her dress. Her necklace and then the bokeh in the background.

Location
In my front garden, Victoria, AustraliaTime
Late afternoon - during the Golden Hour!Lighting
I love shooting in the late afternoon light of a warm, sunny day - that's all that's needed for these type of shots.Equipment
Nikon D90 and my 50mm f1.8 lensInspiration
I wanted to take some portrait photos of my daughter before her primary school graduation. Young glamour.Editing
I brightened and smoothed the skin (a few pre-teenage blemishes) and also highlighted the eyes and strands of hair.In my camera bag
Very little at the moment - I try to remember my 3 in 1 reflector as well as my speed light if I know the light is going to be low.Feedback
It helps to have a good model! Otherwise the light is crucial - soft and glowing natural light. Do not have shoulders straight on. Look at the angles of the models face to get the best bone structure (especially where some features may be irregular). Highlight and smooth sparingly in post.
