Default Window Light Magic...

...with the help of a little reflector. Team effort, wife's shot of client, my PP conversions. This little guy was so cute I could not resist sharing with all of you. Thanks for viewing.

He is absolutely adorable Love the look on his face too.

I know this is not a critique section, and it could be my screen, but it looks like the left eye has more of a shine to it then the right, which is throwing the balance in his face off.

I see what you mean...I tweaked the catch light in his left eye a little, and it does look somewhat better...thanks

Thank you, I'll be sure to pass your comments on to my wife...she's the one with the gifted eye when it comes to children's portraiture. I support her both in the field and here on the PC doing all the edits...she calls me "reflector boy." ...lol

Well, "reflector boy", you and your wife did some great work. The shot really brings out personality.
Keep it up,

Thank you Susan...I'll make sure to tell Catherine. I just finished doing all the edits on this job. Unfortunately, he was still too young to sit up on his own which would have allowed us a few more position options, but regardless, he is one beautiful little boy
