#3 is perfect. Even the little bit of drool makes it priceless.

On Pirate Girl, I like your choice of how much hair light (or hat light?) you used. It's a fine line between drawing your subject out of the background, and going too far and separating your subject from the scene.

3 is great! What is the reflective surface you have them posed on?

I don't know what the reflective surface is but I would guess a more or less standard setup with key, fill and a hairlight with umbrellas. Fill light is probably at 1/4 or less or could be even on the same side as the key. You can also notice how light falls off on legs on 6 so it probably wasn't anything crazy big.

I like the pictures a lot though. Thanks for sharing.

I assume the reflective surface is a large piece of plexiglass with a black background underneath. Just my guess....could be wrong.

That makes a lot of sense.

i like the shots of the first kid more. maybe a bit dark on the left side. kids got some cute dark eyes, and you kind of lose that one in the first couple shots.

second kid i like too, but in pretty much all of them you totally lose the hat. it looks like it was made of black velvet of some type, so i guess you're pretty much screwed. but it just blends in so well, especially on camera right. but the octabox light looks great!
