Here is another set of photos with a single light, not unlike the setup from the previous post I did. The only major difference is that I included a reflector and used it as a fill light by bouncing light back into my subject’s face. In this case I am using the white side of the reflector to bounce strobe light into her face. Keep in mind reflectors often come with a silver side on back and tend to be reversable having a gold and black side. Each side has it’s uses but do keep in mind that the silver and gold sides add those respective color.
For the subject herself, I did a “take her as she currently is” approach and sometimes that’s worth it. Kids get messy, go with it sometimes because those messes tell stories. For posing, her mother was on set and of course she responds to her name. Obviously, with a one-year-old you aren’t getting advanced poses most of the time so give them things to long around at and go with that.
