Great photography. What was your lighting setup? It looks very natural.
This set is window light with the subjects behind the edge of the window and about 3 feet from the wall. A 40" white reflector was less than 12" away on the opposite side of their faces for fill.
It was challenging because the place they gave me to work had a wide countertop running along the walls. I had most of them look slightly toward the window to avoid split light, but that meant I had to curl up on top of the counter in a corner to get the shots. Pretzel shooting at its best. ISO was 800-1000 to get about 1/80 - 1/100 shutter most of the time. Clouds kept coming by to change the light.
The natural light made the images look great, but it was much less controllable than studio lights. I need to figure out how to mimic this look with studio lights.
Thanks for the comments and encouragement. I'm truly enjoying this and figuring it out as I go.
