So we poured the concrete slab for our garage this past weekend. And since my 2 year old son is all about his tools and construction work, he thought he'd be a great asset to the job. I didn't have tons of shooting opporunity, since he really wasn't a huge help, but here's some I did get.

C&C always welcome.

    A little more C7C this time.

    First one pretty good. If shot from lower angle and got that famous kid jean butt to go with the boots it would be GREAT!

    2 and 3 are just adorable and definetly keepers. Print and frame those for your husband to hang in the garage above his tool box.

    Fourth one would be better with just your son. Would your husband mind if you PS'd him out?


    Great Job and a great story to tell later on.

    I completely have to agree that I wish I would've shot this from a lower angle, if only the stupid concrete truck could've gotten out of my way behind me. lol I hate it when you look back and go, shit, what if!

    I am going to have to test my PS skills and photoshop my husband out, he won't care and I agree, it would look so much better without him in it. It hadn't even crossed my mind. Thanks!

    Thanks for the C&C, always apprecaited. And I will have to print those for my husband, I hadn't thought to do that either. lol

    Edited to add...

    Ok, So I took my husband out... do you think this is believable?

    I think you did a great job on PSing and like the shot! And this new one of his backside is the best of the series IMO....very very cute, nice job. The colors are great, looks like it was overcast :)

    Lynne - thanks so much. The day was overcast and cold, but I'm glad it was overcast, made it much easier to take pictures. lol Thanks on the colors, I have been trying really hard to get my colors to pop, though I know I have a long ways to go, I think I'm getting better.

    I can't believe I had overlooked the last back/butt shot, I just needed to clone out some distractions, other legs, but that was it. I also like this shot much better. lol

    Thanks!
