A couple child portraits of my own kids
As a baby photographer in Columbus, Ohio (there I go with the keywords again), I always find it easier to photograph other people’s kids, because with my own kids, I have to get them dressed and coordinating, and hair looking nice, and the baby in a decent mood… and then play the role of photographer as well. With other people’s children, they worry about their kids’ clothing and hair and I just have to hold the camera.
I realized that Vivi needed some pictures taken of her, so I got out the camera and flash and got the kids all posing together… and then made the photos black & white to hide their clashing outfits. Good trick! Check it out:
Of course, it was not without its outtakes… I thought this one was particularly funny:
Maylie said “I’m going to make silly faces!” and I guess Vivi decided to join her. Greg, who is usually the difficult to photograph one, was pleasantly smiling.
I actually like these photos so much, I am thinking of getting my Snaptotes sample with these on either side. Oh yeah! I just got approved to be a Snaptotes reseller. They have these great quality bags, and they put your photos on them. Check them out: http://www.snaptotes.com. These bags have gotten rave reviews. They’re a little pricy, but they really make a statement when you go out, and everyone goes “WHERE did you get that bag???” Now to decide which bag to get…ps. If anyone wants to buy one through me, you can use photos that I’ve taken at no extra charge! There’s no discount if you use your own photos, the prices on their web site are the same as my prices.
