Low key portrait photography

I had a busy day on Saturday taking photos at an autumn fair and editing the photos for the calendar.  On Sunday I decided it was about time that I updated the photos of our kids and got a lovely image of both of them.  I wanted to go for low key lighting to create a bit of atmosphere by using shadows.  I edited the image to desaturate most of the colour out then tinted the image to bring selective colours back into the image.
