Super crisp pictures with excellent choices of color and contrast. Have you taken lessons?

Thank you. I'm self taught. My mother bought me two muslin backgrounds (black and white) for Christmas and those are from my first session using them (I've been very busy). My daughter was a little nicer looking than she normally is as we were off to a friend of the family's 70th birthday party. I asked if she wanted to take some pictures and she said sure. I setup one light (I have two hobbiest level studio strobes) and took some pictures. We had fun and obviously they came out pretty well.
Great shots! Looks like a photo a pro would take and you would pay $$ for.
Congrats

Cute kid, but is it a good idea to be putting her pictures up on the internet?

I understand the caution but frankly my family pictures are already all over the internet, flickr, photobucket, facebook, my photography website, a forum I run, a photography forum I participate on, etc. Its a reality of the digital age and I don't personally feel it creates any additional risk beyond the risk of just living life. Its a fact that there are creeps out there but its not the ones on the internet that I'm worried about.
You know, this is the kind of picture that I want to look at again and again.
That's a great trick!
How did you accomplish the lighting?

I had one Calumet Genesis studio strobe with a shoot-through umbrella just BARELY to camera left and up high, maybe too high actually. These were taken in a hurry and I'm still learning but certainly they look good if not great.
I wish my daughter would sit still long enough for a picture.
