LOVE, LOVE. LOVE that first black and white!!!! I would have removed the white rug that resulted in a distracting "horizon line" behind her head, but the high angle makes her look small and vulnerable and that is the angle you see babies from, so I'm lovin' that and that her little hands are together. Nice light in her eyes too!
The second black and white is a stunner too, in the way that her lush eyelashes are fanned out over her cheek. I'd crop that even closer, enlarge it, and maybe overlay her name or a cute poem in the lower corner. gorgeous.
As for the color pics, not a big fan of the white rug, as all it does is divide the background to no useful end. Love that you had her barefeet for these. Those corn niblet toes are meant to be seen, as opposed to the soles of a pair of shoes, or -- perish the thought, ill fitting white leotards. So YAY on the barefeet. I quite like the sleepy pose. adorable baby. on the last shot, that should have been oriented vertically and shot closer, but you can crop that into the photo. Nice work.

Thanks for the C&C!

I love me some honest C&C ;) The first one wasn't even supposed to happen. I went to stand up and just shot it. I'm glad I did even with the blanket horizon line. She just looks so sweet. :) Do you think that just the gray background would look better without the rug? I kind of like the rug in the photos ... ???

Blossom101 I used just my 2 genesis 200 studio lights. Also, some ambiant light coming in from the windows camera left.

Nicely done. All are good, so not much CC here - but I do like #2&3 most.
