Good stuff Mai.
I have just about everything that I need for studio except for grids and a light meter.
I am considering in getting a honey grid for my octobox and/or for my 7" standard silver reflector but I am not sure which degree to get as far as controlling the light. Probably 20 degrees will be a good start.
The reason why I am hesitating is because I have not placed any priority in doing studio type photography with other people. This is more of a means for me to explore and learn for my own benefit and not to earn any income out of it.

I few from last year. You'd think I had more time this winter for more of this LOL.

I've since added a couple of Nikon SB-24 speedlights to the mix.

Very nice Mai 
Very impressive stuff Mai! You really do have some beautiful work! Actually, you are my inspiration for pet photography!
Here is my second attempt at a studio type portrait (of myself) using one primary light off camera (brolly box) and a key light (beauty dish) above camera.

Get the cyber commander for your meter/trigger..I started with a 10 degree grid for the Einstein with reflector..Great for hairlight or spot on the face..
I did before and returned it. I find it too complicated for me to use. I am more comfortable adjusting the power of each strobe manually than going through the menu with that thing.

We got one like that in the studio but I haven't used it yet, as I love working with soft boxes. Maybe I should try it and the umbrella next time I go there.
I didn't think I would enjoy studio as much as I am starting to do.. The images are so clear and clean.

I would like a little more contrast? The image looks a little flat I think. But well done

Really nice pictures mate! Specially the pet ones! Good stuff!
Here are two pictures I took of my wife, inspired in the movie Black Swan, interpreting the black and white swan respectively.
Flash was shot through an umbrella at camera upper left and she was holding a reflector by her chest.
Make up and hair all done by her.

Looks very good! I really like the subtle blur you got on the ear/back of the head and on the body. She is also really pretty!

So, finally been to the studio, it was a tough one - long haired dogs and f/8 are not the best combination. Things were way to sharp.
After a while, I found glamour glow in Nik Effects, that helped me out a lot!
This was what I wanted to work on, black on black:
And a 'normal' shot of the dogs - the first one I like myself, the last one, imaging how hard it was to focus on the eyes :black_eyed:
Not all black, he came together with the first dog.

These are really nice shots, and I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into getting the make-up arranged and setting up the lighting.
I am wondering what the green outline is though, Its all around the body edge?
