I think the lighting goes so well Pat and enhances the softness of the baby's skin. She is adorable and a lovely smile. This is excellent work Pat.

Great job! I agree the lighting is very lovely. Nicely flattering to the baby girl. She is also very cute.

Thank you all for the nice words. Thanks to my DPS bussies, I am getting the hang of lighting. This was done with contant light camera left (it was not hot, used one of those energy saving bulbs - forget what they are called) and reflector camera right and flash bounced off ceiling.

I had so much fun with this one. I wish I knew her when she was a "baby"

Lovely portraits Pat. Did you do anything to the first to make the eyes pop? They instantly captured me and drew me in.

Anne, I did nothing to the eyes, this girl has the BEST eyes you have ever seen. I usually run an eyepop action on my kiddos, but when I did it on her they looked VERY fake.

I did something to the one on the botton, I desaturated them (I used selective color in this photo)

Hayward - thanks for the nice words - and the info on the bulb!
