I used one of my 500 watt strobes with the umbrella (instead of the softbox) and had it on half power to the side of the subjects, I had them look towards the light to get these profile - like pics.

Lens was the gorgeous 24-70 f/2.8L

My daughter and my youngest son (my eldest charges me too much to take his photo, $5 each is too steep ! lol )

Nice images.

Minor critique - A hair light would provide nome nice separation (notice the hair on your son merges with the background) and also might have been worth using a reflector to add some light on the shadow side.

the second one is good, the crop on the first one is my favorite, but as far as exposure sharpness they are spot on
