wait wait wait...
this is not my son, it is my friend's son! I already have plenty enough of those!
But thanks anyway, we enjoyed meeting him and taking pictures.

yep babies aint all that easy - thats why I hate shooting them. They just dont listen when you tell them to hold a pose!
nice capture. I think you can improve by smoothing the background and - I like the skin to be soft since its a baby - less red and a bit of smoothing. But thats personal of course.

Kitanikkor: some great images. I love the third one, especially with the look of the woman in the back!

My daughter is not at all willing to cooperate these days. We made a few pictures nonetheless, here is one of them...

17. ma Chérie. I fall for her eyes every day...
I just wish I had kept the hair on her forehead more in focus.

Olivier: mother and daughter have a striking resemblance ... They should be proud of having their portraits taken in such an exemplary and enjoyable manner.

Bjørn, thank you very much.
Maybe one day... In the meantime, they all want me to keep taking portraits, but not of themselves!

Very nice, I really like the tones and the framing - Their eyes tell me that they enjoy your attention and devotion to them!

My son had is birthday party (he is 10 already!) today and invited a few friends at home.
H. is an interesting boy, he speaks like an aduld and can play the silliest games forever... Obviously, the transition has started for him already. He will be interesting to follow in the upcoming years.

18. H, in progress.
