first portrait session

[specialkrus]

Here are two shots from my first portrait session...i have one large soft box as my only light source. I used a 20d with an 18-55mm lens and then worked on them in photoshop of course. I am very new to photography(6mos as a helper in a studio and with weddings) and would appreciate any input on how to imrove my portraits. I love photographing children but it is definately hard to get them to stand still long enought to get a good shot

Cute child and cute shots. I do love the conversion in the first one.
I think children this age do better sitting down. The lighting looks a lil bright to me.

i like the one to the left, it looks like it was taken along time ago, the one to the right is interesting, but the left is my favorite, good job :lol:

Thanks for the input...i thought it looked kind of bright myself...how can i improve that in the next shoot? maybe not brighten it up so much in photoshop?

I like the one on the left alot. I love what you have done with the colors to it. Both shots look great to me.
