  1. these look really nice. did you use the black paper background?.....if so, maybe play around more in the studio to keep that black color.....or, it actually looks nice as a grey tone in the first three, but the fourth photo looks a lot warmer (on the kids' faces and the background)

  2. i really like your experimentation with your models' positioning. the second photo is very beautiful, the light really makes her face glow--nice, innocent shot.

    good job! looked like the kids were having fun too!

  3. These look professional! I like how they're faces are well-lit but still have enough shadow to give them a good dimension. It looks like you made your subjects comfortable, which can sometimes be a challenge. good work :)

  4. very nice. good lighting on the individual shots. the third one starts to get some odd shadows on the mariah's face though... might want to move one of the lights next time to fix that. maybe try using a fill light?
