Some new stuff from me

I haven't shared much in a while, so I'll show a little of what I've been up to! Would love and CC

This is one of my son's friends Owen

My friend Carey's son at 6 weeks old (or 8weeks??)

This is my sons daycare provider and her lovely family

And this is my son breaking my prop that I was practicing with him on. He's just too big!

1,2, 3: Hmmm.... as big a fan as I am of B&W, I think with this particular child, colour is the way to go. His skin is so fair, and hair so light that in these conversions they all rather blend together. The pictures and poses are great (Although I think a little less off the top in #3) but the B&W isn't working.
4. I think a little more DoF on this one?
5. Not sure

I love the 4th one. I really like your style of children photography. Nice series!

On a child photography site that I am on, there has been instances of people getting their photo's stolen by this lady who claims them as her own work. My watermark is tame compared to others I've seen, actually. I'd rather be safe then sorry.

Thats fair enough then. I guess it depends on who the photos are of that you are posting. I wouldnt be too concerned here, but on an actual photographers website where the images are larger, that is different story. I dont blame you at all, but its difficult for myself to ignore it.

Wow... that's one fair-haired boy! I'll be he's gonna sunburn like a son of a .... I think if there was a 'do-over' on this one you might want to consider the boy in say red or blue colours, and then have green surroundings; lawn, hedge... That's a tough one though. Good job!

Nice work. Working with kids can't be easy. The color one of the infant stands out for me. Thanks for the share.

I agree. The photos are nice, but the watermarks are a little distracting.

I like the last shot - fun! Although, it would be that much better to have his toes in the shot.

You're doing great, Kelly! I always enjoy your work! Your conversions are fantastic!

I'm having a hard time with the second in your daycare providers fam shoot. That boy on the right almost looks like he was placed in from a different shot. His face is totally different color/saturation/contrast from all the other kids'. Something's not quite right on it.

All the others are beautiful! Great job!

You are totally right.. that boy as well as the one on the very far left had very pale skin tones, while the others had VERY deep tans. Red/brownish skin. It didn't help that my white balance was off either. Good eye!

Thanks for commenting everyone!
