First Attempt At A Photo Shoot!

Today was my first official attempt at a photo shoot! I wanted to try to get photos of the boys for their 2nd birthday myself instead of going to a portrait studio like we did for their 6 month and 1 year pictures. It was cold but the sun was out and it went pretty good for my first try. Please leave comments about what you think since I could use all the help or feedback I can get!

CUTE Jenny! I think you did a great job. That first picture is really cute, how did you get them to pose for you? I think you should use that as a top header picture! I think they all turned out really good!

Good job, girl! I think they are keepers!

I think you did a great job!!! I especially love the first 2 and the last one. Do you have any 'actions' for PS? I can email you where you can get a couple for free - and ilovephotography.com has some floating around. Then you can try some more looks with the pictures. Looks good!

These are all so great! I love all of them but the top one really is so cute. And the last one is beautiful-- worth blowing up. How many takes did you need to get them both to look AND smile? I'm so jealous!

You are doing wonderful. You must enlarge the picture of daddy and the boys.. that is priceless and a classic, maybe crop a little of the path out but other than that... TERRIFIC!!! Watch for shadowing..which I can only imgaine w/two you are more focused on the expressions etc getting two to comply :) Lord knows I struggle w/Bryce. Keep up the good shots. Also try some with no shoes when/if you can that is always super cute when they are still little. Good job mom and thanks to dad cooperating too!! It's a team effort!!! xox me
