It appears you don't need very much practice, Bill! Wonderful image. Aren't grandkids wonderful?

Looks like you didn't need any practice. It's beautiful.

My wife asked for new pictures of our 5 granddaughters, and since its been quite awhile since I did any portraits I thought maybe I should do some practice shots to work the rust off. This is my granddaughter Samantha (aka Sam) who let me take pictures of her as long as she could continue reading her book "Baseball Ballerina".
Single elevated monolight with softbox 45 degrees camera right about 2 feet from Sam.

You picked a lovely model. The only suggestion I have, I would use a white reflector to light up the shadows just a smudge. Great picture.

I don't think you can do better. This will be a treasured photo in the future.

Thanks Willie, glad you liked it. I have a piece of white foam board and will give it a shot. Less time in Photoshop is always a good thing.
