Family Life

[Taralyn Romero]

...trying my hand at taking candid shots of the family. I was trying to convey the atmosphere in each picture but wasn't sure if I was able to do that successfully or not since I'm biased towards the subject matter Any comments would be welcome as I'm interested to see if these are, in fact, only good pictures in my eyes or, if I did alright.

Thanks friends!

Really great series! I love #3

I love the first three. For me you capture the mood and the atmosphere perfectly!

I find the writing in the borders (in general) very distracting though ... but I understand why it's there! For me, less is more in that respect.

beautiful shots, you captured an great atmosphere, there!
#3 is excellent! I bet they all love it

i like the way the lady on #3 in the background seems to be keeping a watchful over the proceedings

Oh, they're all very good - good emotional captures. And good exposure and framing also... very nice...

I think taking family photos are the hardest of all.

Very nice job!

Thanks everyone! I'm happy to hear that these turned out alright - there is always the fear of them looking like snapshots to everyone else when I find them to be special.....cuz of the subject matter.

I like the effect that used on these photos. Nicely done

#1 and #3 really capture the moment. I, too, love how the older woman in #3 is centered but just watchful. And I love the movement in their hands, it gives action to their cooking, it makes it feel more real to me.

I showed these to my husband and he said, "They look like those old pictures you used to see of famous families in Time Magazine." I'd say that's quite a compliment.
