How cute, Great light!

#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?

Cute kids. Great costumes for kids.

The little one made me smile. Grrrrrrr.

wonderful set! great lighting. #3 is the best!!!

Lovely lighting, lovely shots.

Care to share your lighting set up?

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.

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!

First off, these children are adorable. Secondly, the lighting and photos are very well done

giantdave - Thanks, I agree.

fstop212 - Thanks, Thanks.

One more.
