I'm a teenage photographer and recently had an opportunity to shoot with the Inland Northwest Photographers Assembly. We had a meeting and everyone brought their strobes and lighting gear. We had a great time shooting and the host's daughter volunteered to be our model. I had a great time shooting with her and this makes me really want to shoot more children. She was always having a smile on her face and having a great time. The lighting was a Alienbees 400 camera left with a DIY beautydish and a Spiderlight in a large softbox camera right at full power. I had a great time and am very pleased with this image.

Wow - that's a gorgeous picture. Nice job with the lighting and framing. One small critique is that the facial skin seems a bit light (bright).

Whizkid: Its a lovely picture, but as digigirl noted you're starting to blow your red channel up in the forehead, which causes a bit of a color shift. You should be able to tone that down pretty easily if it was a RAW capture.
