Beautiful shots of beautiful kids. How quickly they grow up nowadays. Pretty soon you'll be shooting grandkids.

Noooo....not quite. I think she is 6th or so in her High School class. The gold sash designates that she is graduating with honors and has the BETA Club insignia. I am most pleased that she was third in her class in scholorship monies recieved. Thats what I am talkin about!!!:D

My son has not recieved his sash yet. He is graduating from college the same week she graduates high school. He recieved a distinguished graduate award last week, and was also recognized for his grade point average and placement on the "President's List".

We are VERY proud of all three of them!!!

A definite departure from your lush, environmental portraits of late! I do like the high-key, low contrast effect. The first one looks like soft sunlight....is that off camera flash done very naturally?

the "oh-eight" shot is great too...would look cool in a high contrast bw, too.

A really nice set, sunny and subtle lighting. My best attempt at a crit would be to separate a bit from the textured background, with the tone-on-tone thing you have going, it is a teeny bit distracting but minor.

It's been said before but you and your wife churned out some gawjus chillin. (forgive my yankee-does-louisiana-accent).

It is my first real effort in using the flash off camera. In #1 I used it from the same direction as the natural light (sunlight) just to add a little fill.

the "oh-eight" shot is great too...would look cool in a high contrast bw, too.

I might have to give it a try in BW then!!

I am not bothered much by the BG. It is one of the columns that I frequently include in portraits. To keep the BG full of the column, I pretty much had to be that close. I was trying to use smaller apertures to keep things in focus....tassle...hat...etc.

The processing in #2 is...obviously...quite different than the others. I wish I had gotten her to bring her eyeglasses for that shot!!
