Great fun set. I like them all but #7 is my favorite. You captured such a great moment there. What had him cracking up like that? I don't like that case or whatever on the right but no biggie. Also love #7. You did a great job on these. The kids look so relaxed. Great candid shots too. Really good job. I'm sure the parents will love them.

BTW, that kids got some RED hair. Awesome!

beautiful! Nice tones and light. Cute kids, too!

Thanks everyone!

Actually, a little trade secret from the app world gets kids to laugh everytime. You can download apps that sound like farts. Yep farts. It gets this age range rolling on the ground, obviously. Just make sure you hand the phone to someone else so the kids dont know whats going on.

Great series! I'm going to have to move to find that kind of weather because it seems to help make beautiful images! nice job with the red hair and skin tones. Love the fart idea, I don't have the fancy electronics, so someone will have to do it manually, lol.

Bsimon

Haha, Trudy, if I was allowed to do it manually I think they might cry....haha

Nice set of fun portraits, well exposed and authentic expressions as well.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
The only nit pik I have is the bright sky in some of these, I would have tried to change the compositions so that it was all grass and no sky as I find it to be a wee bit distracting and bright especially in #6<o:p></o:p>
I think the fart noise is a great idea btw.....<o:p></o:p>
A big kudos to you and the kids for shooting through the arbitrary weather.<o:p></o:p>

Love the whole set! The colors are fantastic, the expressions and compositions are wonderful, and honestly, I have a greater appreciation now for child photography. I will remember that fart app for suuuure.
