Nice photo. Soft light, repetition, not quite the normal portrait.  Did you 
use just one light or what?  I always wonder how people set up their 
lights.  Of course shooting pictures of cute kids is cheating.
This whole semester is studio lighting for me.  And of course I'm using my 
M6 & M3.
They work remarkably well in the studio environment.  When you want to 
focus on the eyes it focuses on the eyes.
I have been using the 50 because I don't have a 90 :( but the 50 still 
shines in a different way than the nikon and canon stuff the other students 
are showing.  Of course they do macro shots while I have to stay out.  But 
the studio is the devil.
