I love this photo. Strictly speaking, this is an out-of-focus, rather than soft focus photo, but I love it nonetheless.

Dancing

Comment:
Potentially could be a very interesting photo, but the position of the feet is not suggesting a beautiful dance, just some kind of an awkward step...

very nice soft focus indeed. And the lighting. And the pose. And the beautiful child. The only thing I might want to change is the tone, this sepia look is more suited to shooting old people, INHO :)

I like this series - posing and lighting, exposure. The only problem I see with a few of these portraits including this one is that the focus is on the front shoulder rahter then on the eyes of the model where it should be... Perhaps you did it on purpose, but why?
[I could understand if the whole portrait was soft, but it is not the case here]

Bottoms Up

Excellent work! One thing I'd chage is to blacken or crop the upper left corner. It's not clear what it is, and (probably because of that :)) is mildly distracting from ...uhm, the centerpiece. Seriously, great work, Kelly. Bringing Man Ray to mind, for one.
