1st Studio Shoot With My Little Girl

Well my wife and I were blessed with our first little one last Friday morning. I set up my Alien Bee ABR800 with a reflector and took a couple snaps to see if I could get something to use for our announcements. As you might already know, I'm very new to studio lighting so any C&C you could give me would be appreciated. How do the shadows look? How could I set it up to get a better result, etc?

... I see it now.

Mmm, Jaeger!

Your lighting looks spot on. The captures are great. The baby is cute. That is all.

Wonderful. Congrats!

Beautiful shots of a beautiful baby, well done.

I am looking forward to shooting some of my new grand-child soon.

Very powerful pictures and it almost made me cry!!
Congratulations as well.

very pretty new one.. call me crazy but i'd lose the diaper and do the naked newborn photos.. and I tend to favor lighter backdrops with infants.. the black is a bit distracting..
