Had to link to my daughter. This was taken in the Bahamas when we were on vacation when she was four months old. In two weeks she'll be a year.

What gorgeous babies!. Kevin, I really like the softness, but feel you need just a little more separation from the bg

Not sure what it looks like on your monitor -- could be a monitor thing. I've checked it on three or four screens and ipad and all have good separation.

Top-notch work. Can't get any better than this. Do you have any close-up ones too?

Nice work. Looks like an umbrella catchlight but the rest looks like natural light and with the shallow dof I am curious as to your lighting?

You're right about the key light. The setup is detailed here... //photosfromdad.com/sophie -- scroll down to { The Picture } section.

A couple. I had a very specific view in my head that I was going for which is why they're all the same. I ended up getting that view and just wanted to capture a range of expressions after that.

Thank you. Really gret work with your lighting. Love how you made it seem natural with all studio lights.

Thanks, it's certainly something that's a bigger challenge in a larger room. Thankfully my bedroom isn't enormous so it's pretty easy to fill it up at f2.
