Thank you all for taking time to look and comment. Your remarks are very kind.
Adam, I agree with the concept of keeping it simple especially with lighting. For young kids because they tend to be so active, I?ll light the area with a big umbrella or bounce off a white ceiling. This actually was a family sitting so I chose the use a 3 light setup (main, fill, and background). After I had finished with the family I asked the mom if I could get a couple of her. I did use PhotoShop to soften her skin, but kept her hair and eyes sharp.

This is a gorgeous image. I don't know how you could make it better. Did you use a soft-focus lens or filter or something? Or was it done in Photoshop. Either way, it works really well.
With kids' portraits, I usually make the lighting as simple as possible (one light -- usually that big one outside, one reflector or fill-flash). I feel it captures the essence of childhood more. Not that what you did is wrong to me at all, it's just a different style than I use.

This is inspiring. Any tips on how you get this effect - "soft yet sharp" - would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
