Basically my nurse wanted me to do a shoot with her nieces (I say nieceS as they are twins - identical to add to the mayhem!) but it was the first time I was taking photos of non-asian kids, which has been my only ones thus far.

Would appreciate some C&C:

I think you did a commendable job with these children. I really like the black and white versions.

Cheers :)

the shot with both in the frame hints at possibilities...would love to see more of the two of them together. i like the BW one's with the harsher lighting too.

You're not confessing, you're bragging !!;) Those look great. The skin tones are dead on. Wonderful work.

Thank you all for your kind comments - appreciated tremendously.

I did not plan on using such harsh lighting for the B&W shots, but unfortunately I could get the background totally black in the color shots without totally screwing up the color, and it took a LOT of tweaking for the black to be totally black in those.

So you guys think I would get some business if I quit my day job?

You've got a wonderful group of photos there IMO. They are really cute and will probably cause mayhem in a few years.

Honkies are tough, but getting the color right on those red necks is my problem....
