My son acquired the shirt/tie set from my aunt who lives in England for Christmas - as soon as it was out of the box, he owed me a photo shoot in said clothes. Now that the perfect pair of shoes have been purchased, the photo shoot was completed over two hours this evening.

We picked the clothes, he picked the location (and most of his poses).

Of course, when we got home, he got his hands on my XT (with permission) armed with a 50 mm 1.8 and kept saying "Turn your head, look bored - PERFECT, Mommy!! ::click:: Man, it's over-exposed" so I guess that was his payback.

C&C Welcome!

2. Throwing a HUGE rock over his shoulder - pitching a fit because he was bored. I told him I'd shoot to the point of making him mad, he didn't believe me.

7. "Mommy, can I have one with the boat in the background?"
"Sure, Love, put your foot on the same step as your butt"
- He composed the rest of the shot himself, I promise!

10. Of all the places we shot, we came home and saw the bricks of our apartment building and couldn't resist.

Sorry, I didn't realize I had the emoticon in it until it was too late, he's cute so he's staying

What a great set. I love the back lighting and B&W conversion in #1. #5 made me smile. I can't decide if these remind me more of Billy Joel or Michael Buble. Either way, he is a handsome young man and a good model.

oh my gosh i love these! what a doll!! The tilt in 3 is a little much, maybe if his head was tilted the other way... still love it though. 1,3,7,8,10 are my favorites! he's going to be a heartbreaker

Oh my goooodness!! What a cute, creative set!!! I have no words, ... just beautiful!!

Thanks! The shot and the conversion on the first one go to my husband, he's got a great knack for those b/w conversions, I can't nail it like he can.

I shot #5 as wide as I could, to make him look sooo tiny - the whole, "It's such a big world" idea. The brick wall is about 20 feet high, he's not as high as he looks, the ground is just out of the shot.

Thanks!! It *almost* landed in the recycle bin because of that, I didn't notice it until processing time. I liked the look on his face, so we kept it.

He posed himself in most of your favorites - maybe he should come on my next photo shoot and help with the poses

And he already is a heartbreaker, I put these up on Facebook and a high school senior said "My husband is so adorable, isn't he?" - we tease him all the time about having a crush on her and she just ADORES him. There's an 12 year age gap, but my husband and I are 10 years apart, so I'm ok with it.

Angie... Laud Caesaris! I'm awed at your shots constantly. I can't figure out how *you* do what you do.

Aside from the "ballerina position" (heels together, feet in a straight line) I love it. He was too afraid of falling to point a foot towards me. The steps are half a brick's width wide, so I'm surprised he got up there at all.

LOVE. The whole set.

That wall is amazing - what a great place to shoot! It actually took me a second to figure out the perspective (ie lying down? Standing? Trompe l'oeuil?) - it's absolutely BRILLIANT!!

Fantastic, creative, sparkly set.

Oh yeah, and cute kid, too

Great, then I shot the photo the right way

I'm flat on the ground, his feet are about 5 feet up off the ground on a 20 ft wall. It isn't that big, I just shot it at 17mm for that wide open shot.
