Sweet Smile

First thing that I said in my mind was, "Classical"
Beautiful capture, cute smile.

Cheers

You're probably right.


You're probably right again.

Thanks for all the kind words.  No, it is not window light, but here is a diagram and some explanation of how I did it:

The main is a 24"X36" feathered from the far side and pointing back toward the camera.  It is about 3' from her and more in front of her than 45 deg to her (in order to get the catchlight to show).  I then placed a 42" silver reflector straight across from the main and rotated just so slightly toward her.  The hairlight is accomplished with a 7" silver reflector positioned behind the background and pointed at the white ceiling.  I like this hairlight effect a lot because you end up with a separation light from about 1' from the background to about 6' from it.  It is very soft and spills over just enough, I think.  Also, I don't have to worry about moving it a lot because it covers a large area quite evenly so the subject can move around without it causing problems (great for kids).  I actually saw this set up done very similarly by John Woodward (a primarily commercial and fashion photographer from NY).  The biggest difference is, he had a 6"X36" strip light (soft box).  I don't, so I compromised and bounced the light off the ceiling.  I actually got better results than I thought I would.

Thanks again for looking, I'm glad you like it.
