Hiya! Two weeks ago I had my second photo session with a one year old. The thing I have learned is that you really cannot do any complicated stuff with lights since the model is quite hard to control I try to light as big area as possible with as soft light as possible and only aim for nice expressions while making funny noises with the parents After a few good "safe" shots I have tried to get something with shallower depth of field or more complicated light setup.
Number 7 literally made me say "Awwww, That's ADORABLE!" Out loud... Perhaps a little too loud, as my dad was wondering what was going on. Great series through and through. The one and only thing that bothered me a little bit was the shadows created by the lighting as they dragged out of the frame in certain shots like the wagon, but that's incredibly minor.
But yeah. Number seven took the cake for framing, capture of the moment, quality, lighting, everything. Love it.
