I got one of those cheap Christmas backgrounds so we could do a fun holiday shoot!

I prefer the second best, the candy cane doesn't work for me in the other pictures?
Merry Christmas to you and your model, your pictures are so much better then my previous attempts!

#3 is my favorite in this set; a very pretty model.
If I might make a couple of suggestions about this 3rd portrait style (just my perspective & I’m often wrong):
1. Consider losing the candy cane and hand; hopefully you have another portrait without those two items in shot? For this model and her expression, I suggest that less is more; a simple portrait without those two items would raise the artistic level immediately
2. This is definitely personal preference, but if you ever wanted to present this in a printed format, online sales room, or physical gallery, I suggest resizing, repositioning, or best yet, “losing” (so only you know where to find it, for copywriter purposes) that rather large and garish logo? it’s distracting and doesn’t fulfill it’s prime purpose (protecting your work) as it’s easily masked, altered, or removed.
The best protection for any image is something embedded in the image that isn’t easily found, and very difficult to remove… 😉

I agree with the others about ditching the candy cane. I’d also eliminate the ink on her left hand and all the rings…they distract rather than add to the shots. But that’s just my taste, of course.

looks like the third image is the best, and yes perhaps the candy cane could go, but it's Christmas.

A great set of photos. I agree with georgeretired that it is Christmas so the candy cane fits in with the holiday. I also like the fact that they are not "perfect" studio photo quality. Sometimes natural is not all that bad. Thanks for sharing.

Lots of comments on the candy cane, take it out, leave it in…But aren’t candy canes usually striped? I just noticed this one isn’t. Guess I was distracted😊

Lovely photos. I agree that removing the tattoo on the hand would be an improvement.

She is very proud of her ink so I would never think of removing it! Each one has a meaning!
