The Toddler Twins

Llywellyn

Welp, finally finished processing the full set from this sneak preview, and the mom—a good friend of mine for many years—called one day to gush about how happy she was then called a second day to gush again how happy dad was. Granted, she's a friend, but I'm thrilled they're thrilled since this was my first foray into toddler shooting, and I was a fair mess going about it!

They've asked me to come back this weekend to attempt a family portrait with all four of them, which is a bit beyond my scope for posing and child-wrangling ideas, so if anyone has advice or examples for me, I'd be much obliged! :thumb

Of course, if you have comments on the below, I wouldn't mind that either. :wink

16 (Just to prove I did do some in color. I wish I hadn't cut her head off, but I still love this moment: mom trying to fix son's collar as he's running off to play. I tried a different crop, but it just made the image more disturbing the more I hacked off mom. :lol3)


Thanks for stopping by! :thumb

These are awesome! Very nice, creative, yet natural. They sure are cute.

I love the "lifestyle" approach with young children. They can be HARD. You did a great job.

You make it look easy...that last one just captures the run around a little one gives.
