  Aww!! He is so, so cute!! Geez, he's way ahead compared to my 11 month old boy. He just got his first tooth in last week. :)
You really know how to capture the beauty in the eyes. They are full of life. All your portraits are.

  Jessica, Janine, Kylie, and Alisha thank you for all of your wonderful comments!!!

Kylie, I took this with all natural lighting. The catchlights are from the windows above him and a patch of sun on the floor in front of him. I'm so glad you like it! :)

  This is a stand out image! Shows all kinds of emotion and the clarity is perfect.... well done. MD

Do you mind me asking what lens you used for this shot? Maybe a quick rundown on the light set up for this shot as well if you don't mind... it looks like you had numerous lights from the catch lights in the eyes.

  Thank you, Mike for such nice comments! I believe I used my 50mm 1.8 lens on this shot. It was all natural lighting. There was a row of windows in front of him and to his his left about four feet up and it was a beautifully bright day outside. I'm glad you like it!
