These are my oldest with fresh faces right out of the shower after grueling soccer practices this evening. I'm trying to practice with a single light setup with a reflector.
Beautiful fresh faces! The colors are wonderful and they are so clear and crisp. I love it. I also like the catchlights. I'd like to know more about this sort of light set-up, so I'm curious to hear what the more experienced folks will say. Looks super to me!

Agree with a lot of the comments above. Love #2, and you definitely nailed the focus.
I'm curious as well, what type of light is it you're using?
Fantastic job.
Very low tech setup here. I fired an SB800 into an umbrella on my right. I did use a white reflector on my left for some fill (large foamcore board from Michael's- $3.99).
These were taken with a D2Xs and 85mm, f1.4 @ f7. The flash was controlled with an on camera SU800. I set this whole thing up in 5 minutes and took a total of 10 photos. A good example of Nikon's flash system and how well it works.
These are absolutely gorgeous images! Commercial magazine worthy IQ and lighting. WOW!
The expression and hooded towel in #2 is my favorite (what is your son's name? I know Steph and Sam, but I can't seem to recall his!!!), but the fake background kind of ruins it for me.

Lynne,
That's my son, Evan.
The clouds were just done on a lark. I had just taken a shot of some interesting clouds to use as a background on some of my photo paintings.
Here's the original without the photoshopped background.
I love your shots, but some people might find the large pupils a little erie - like shots of the little girl in 'The Exorcist'. On the other hand, some people like the large pupils for that 'deep look' into the soul.
Anyway, you can shine a bright light in your subject's face for a few seconds, and then turn it off before taking the shot. This makes the pupils shut down a bit for a more normal look.

Now that's a compliment. It's easy to nail the focus at f7.

Nikon D3 and a bunch of nikkor gear
that has added up over the years :wink
Yes, joining in the applause!
When I looked at your profile I saw D70 and I thought "Impossible", but you have explained it with the D2Xs and the nice lens. Nice job of lighting.
Some cheeky kids you got!
