I especially like some of the expressions shown here. Nice moments.
And...I also like the warmth shown in the skin. THAT is something often missing in flashed photos.
I don\'t usually ask about flash equipment use. But, your post says you used two flashes and a reflector in the \"strobist\" style. However you used them or however many you used, the effect (light) is very nice in the images.
In fact, I think it looks far better than I have seen in the often posted \"My first strobist attempt\" posts here. So you \"have it down.\"
Would you tell us how you placed the \"two\" flashes? And your trigger method might help some folks too. And...did the warmth come from PP or gels or what?
One image appears to have used the reflector below the face. I only ask this as so many people seem to have difficulty with ratios when using multiple small flashes and your examples are so nicely lit I think they might prove inspirational to others who want to use similar gear.
So often what I notice in other posts is \"too hot\" light coming from behind (hot hair light) and \"crossed flashes/shadows.\" Yours don\'t have that and I think that makes them exemplary.
I hope these comments and observations help and encourage you.
(not that it appears you need any help. )
