Hiya

Here are a few pics from 2 of my first 'chilld' shoots that I recently did.
C&C would be great :-)

Overall, very nicely done. The second to last one (in the second post) is out of focus and be careful about your light direction on the very first one, it looks like you're lighting from below which can cause that "flashlight under the chin" look. Because your lighting is so soft, it's not a huge deal but lighting from this direction is generally considered unflattering so just be careful about it in the future.

Thanks for the FB, yes I know that one was out of focus and thought it would be a talking point. The other one was natural light coming from the front through a very large window (not underneath).

Make sure to try and get down lower on some of those shots. I some of the shots where they are looking up into the camera but the perspective gets old after two or three times. Great lighting and pp too.

I suppose the fact that she's looking up to the camera put the window at an angle from below - you can tell from the catchlights which are in the bottom half of her eyes that the light is coming from under her chin.
