Yes, I know about the foamcore, it can also be even plain white cardboard if don't have anything else, but the thing with reflectors is - someone has to hold them :) and I didn't have anyone to do that then. And yes, I wasn't thinking! I bet I could find at my friend's house piece of black or white fabric, and that would help me with my background problems... too late now :) As I always said - being creative is the one of the most important things in photography.

The 1st one is my favorite. I love the light and the intimate mood you've created. You have the right idea using the window light. If too harsh you can hang a plastic shower curtain to diffuse the light. Also I'm sure you're familiar with using a white foamcore board as a reflector. On the last image, I would like to see more light reflected in the baby's face seeing that is the subject. Beautiful light though - wonderful capture of mood. You'd be surprise what you can create for a background with a piece of white or black fabric. <img src="http://kmarciante.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/landon069.jpg" alt="Sleeping Baby" width=500 /> Nice captures.
