My Neighbor's Kids

An impromptu photo session today. Natural light only. C&C appreciated.

Lovely!! I think the last two are my favorites

that last one is just wonderful!

Thank you!

Beautiful kids. I wouldn't worry too much about the elbow, but I do wish you hadn't cut her feet off in the last one. I love kids feet. And his dirty foot sticking up is great!

OMG the last two are sooooooo beautiful, the first two are too much in your face..lol

i think you could go a bit deeper with the PP on the last 2 to make them exceptional!

Thanks! What are your thoughts in terms off PP K-style?

The first 2 could have used a little reflector to bounce some light in the eyes.. always look for that.....

The last 2 are sooooo cute. Great smiles and so natural looking. I'm sure their mommy is going to love these.

since you image editing is turned on i took he liberty to give number 3 my elkin special treatment, i hope you dont mind....i do this with almost all of my shots to make them pop. in this on i used an orange/yellow gradient.

-duplicte overlay layer 30-40%
-merge
-duplicate desat layer 10%
-merge
-duplicate gradient layer 6%
-merge
-duplicate noise filter 30%
-merge!

pretty simple technique to make them pop, you can chose from any colo gradient you want, i thought an orage/yellow filter would add character being that this is a nice outdoor portrait.

Cute! I'll try that tonight and play with the colors. Thanks!

aw 3 and 4 are so sweet

great image editing tips!! that little girl is an angel! i love it!

Really cute kids! The first two could use much more light on the face. The girl has such a wonderful smile. Here's my very quick take on #3 to give it a little boost.

Tim

I love the one of the little girl in the grass. Tim, what did you do to make it pop like that???

Great job...their mom I'm sure is pleased as pinch with them. I like what Tim did with it too but like them as they are to.
