great shots, lighting, poses and pp all work great. the first shot is really good although the border dosnt work for me I think a more classy border would work better.

Thanks. It was my only second try at lighting and getting everyone to be happy and smile. I am lost as to borders. This was a free one.

simple borders are easy to do if you have photoshop or elements. just use canvas size click the relatie button and then use a figure such as 2 and you will get an even border. if you duplicate the layer before you do it as well you can using layer effects to add a stroke and perhaps even drop shadow.

Of course this is only any good if you like this sort of border.

Here is a style i seem to be using a lot at the moment.

Wow... The way I was doing this was quite a bit more time consuming. Thanks for posting this! It will save me a lot of time. :)

sc_radar, it looks like you cloned out your Daughters leg in the second photo. Great shots and good job on the lighting. If you turn these into cards I'm sure everyone will love them.

WOW! :) Really nice shots here... :) The lighting looks great and you have a beautiful family. I like the fake "snow" on the first couple of shots.

Looks like the "Tammy" is treating you well. Tell her I said hello! :)

You hit the nail on the head. The first one is our chosen picture for the card.

As for the cloning I looked back at the original shot and her leg was still missing .The right leg was hidden by my childs back but I see what you mean by it though.

Thanks Kristy. Your Tammy says hello right back at ya. :lol::lol::lol:

Thanks to all for the replies. My wife and people at work just loved these and now a few ladies at work want me to take some of their kids so this may be a positive thing.
