Such sweet smiles!

My nieces were visiting and I set up a make-shift studio to get some portraits. These girls have had a lot of professional portraits and are expert posers, but I also wanted some natural shots. I love to get in close and get the eyes and smiles.

Nikon D80
55-200 Nikkor VR lens
Focal length 86mm
Built in flash
ISO 400
Shutter speed 1/125
Aperture F/5.6

Used a desk lamp for side lighting as well as a light above them.
