Tough choice. But I'd go for the second baby shot. I like the smile in that
one.

Thanks Ian, I was tilting towards that, but the light is so good (without harsh shadows) in the last two, but how do you top the 2nd photo?

I also like the 1st photo since it shows her wide open eyes :)

I pretty much agree with everyone else..

The 2nd baby shot.. Such a cutie, and so happy. :thumb

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy, which is nice, since its starting to sleet outside.. :wxwax

Thanks for the push Dave :)

I showed this to my gf & she *loved* it. She is a preschool teacher by day, and my boss (CFO) by night. I was using your examples to show her what a good light setup can do for a portrait. She used your example as proof we need to get married and have kids! That one backfired in my face!!

Just wanted to post a warning to anyone else wanting to get a nice light setup.

So get married, have kids, buy a home and buy lights (in that order).

But, if you need to play with the lights, you can stop by any time :)

Geez, don't know how I missed to respond to your message. Thanks for the kind words DaveRich.

Yeah, she is a real cutie, and keeps me busy (and away from photographing outside, but I was able to convince my wife to get a studio light to do these stuff :)).
