First "official" (baby) shot in my new studio

As some of you know, we moved a couple months ago ... As much as it stinks to lose all of your clients, I figured I better make *something* good out of it and build some studio skills (which is something new to this natural-light photographer). So I bought some alienbees & big softboxes, and boy did I enjoy my first real shoot ... got everything nicely in focus, and did not have to worry about the weather or lack of light for once ... I could almost get used to it :D

Photos posted below are actually very close to the RAWs, I only made some little adjustments :D

c&c welcome :wave

    Beautiful, Angie!

    Are those the Lemondrop backgrounds/floors? I was just looking at those, and then saw this post! (If so - do you like them?)

    Oh .... glad you didn't notice, but it's not a "real" wood floor :D

    Diva - nope, got the floor second hand and the backdrops from: Photo Prop Floors and Backdrops. Hmmm ... like one of them, 2 I don't ... they have a weird flair going because of the material ... but you can touch that up in PP I guess.

    Very nice photos and great start to a new beginning!!

    Not challenging science, but I always wonder how we ever survived the early part of the century where virtually all paint had lead as a component.

    Einstein surely slept in a crib with lead paint.

    I know I did and it ain't defected me interlect none that I can sees. just saying.

    I agree Sam...100%.

    I do always wonder about stuff like that just because all it takes is one frivolous lawsuit by some idiot to ruin your business. Crazy days!

    very, very nice shots. #1 and #5 are my fav.
    love the eyes.

    Hopefully, this is helpful feedback. I found the baseboard to be a little distracting in some of the shots. On #2, she seems to get a little lost in the background.
