These are beautiful shots, what kind of lights/setup were used?

[Gareth Lock]

Almost the simplest light setup- one light in the front with a square diffuser (Courtenay Color flash 4 with the umbrella type thing with wool type diffuser) about 6 feet from the child, fired at full power, f13 on the 50mm f1.8, 1/125th, ISO 100, S2 Pro. (Could have opened up slightly as I had to adjust the levels slightly in PS afterwards)

The background was their beige wall which had a small amount of daylight on it.

I used one of the girl's dolls to get the lighting (shadows) sorted and then had about 10-15 mins to get the shots of her and her sister before they got bored as 2 year olds are prone to do!

Glad you like them, the parents certainly did and want all of the images printed!

I have two little ones around the same ages. I have a 2 1/2 yr old and 9 mo.

I am inspired now. Thank you.

I am adding a pic of my oldest when he was just a baby. I am sorry it is pre S1 & S2. I just wanted to share :)
