This is one of my little guys. I thought we'd use some fun backgrounds for his 5 year pics. A few days before the shoot, I drove around my county, scoping out unique locations. I need to reshoot the full body ones on the graffiti wall, as the sky was "too bright" (even though it was mildly cloudy/sunny) for my little guy- I kept getting squinty eye expressions. I'm having a hard time choosing which ones to share! Feel free to visit the gallery for more.

4. Any other ideas on how to make these wire panels work?

6. Wish there were catch lights in the eyes. Should have used reflector?

7. Just for fun.

8. This grafitti wall was cool, but he wouldn't look at me because the sky was too bright in his eyes! Will try to reshoot early in the a.m.

    Love your backgrounds! It works really well- like a mini senior shoot for a little guy! Great job! (Note to self: make my kids pose like this for me more often.)

    Especially love #5... what a sweetheart!

    Some nice shots here. I really like #5. On $6, you can create the catch lighting in post very easily. :)wings.gif

    How do I do this in post editing? I've tried with a brush in photoshop, but it didn't turn out good.
