Baby-sitting may be very addictive: Livia is not quite 2 years old, which means she is not too conscious of the camera. She only wants to check the results on the camera screen from time to time... It's after editing a lot of pictures taken this week that I thought of Don Diego's portrait challenge. True, I never thought of staging the shots and making her pose. Just try that with those kids! But I have to say you can't be wrong with such a cute and lively face. Even contrasty or backlit scene may be a good opportunity to capture moody portraits.
There is almost always a possibility to take advantage of various lightings, not by moving the kid, but by moving yourself around her, and being ready for the blessed moment when expression and lighting play together. The following 8 poses were taken with available light indoors or outdoors (except for flash fill-light for the completely backlit shot). Only obvious common point: rather soft lighting, even when lighting came from a large side window.

Michel, these are super. No, you sure can't go wrong with such a cutie, but you did better than 'just not going wrong'.
Michel, they are great but number 5 is marvelous!!
She's beautiful! I love #3 the best, and #1 is my next favorite.

Thanks to all for your kind comments. If you love people (you do) and can appreciate good lighting (it's a matter of training and receptiveness) you can do it!
