Week 4: 2 year portraits - take 1

I've been wanting (and am still wanting, for that matter) to take some portraits of Jonah to mark his 2nd birthday. Time was tight last Sunday when I tried this. Then, it took me longer to set up than planned, so it was a little closer to nap time than it should have been. Needless to say - Jonah was less than cooperative. I certainly know that, one - I need to learn how to get kids to work with me, and, two - a bigger light source would be helpful. Perhaps with No. 1 - it's easier when they aren't your kiddo?

Here are some of the other shots from this little session, if you are interested:

I'm not completely happy with the results, so I'll need to reshoot soon. I guess that's one benefit when it's your child - reshoot at will!

Camera stuff for those who are interested: one flash in a 28" softbox, up camera right. Shot against white muslin.

Bonus shot for this week - I know, against the rules, but I couldn't decide which I liked better. Any thoughts? (same lighting info, btw)
