ummm you don't have tom boy girls do you? When my 9 year old girl who would rather be outriding her dirt bike says she will sit for 10 minutes to let me play with my camera I'm not asking her to comb her hair, I'm taking the photo, lmao.

why take posed shots then if you cant/wont put in the effort to make the details right? so...your kids TELL YOU how long they will do something? ouch. we have a special needs child, and when we want to take portraits of him, his hair is combed, and we somehow manage to get him to sit for the appropriate amount of time needed to take the picture.

if you are letting your 9 year old call the shots now....teenage years are going to suck for you. and that is NO laughing matter.

My... so somehow you have turned my asking for advice on how to improve my photography into a discussion on my parenting? My 9 year old does NOT call the shots in the house but I do NOT force my children to get dressed up and comb their hair so I can practice using my camera for 10 minutes. What's the point of that? Now if I was wanting a picture to hang on the wall, then they are dressed accordingly, but for me practicing I really don't see the point.

Now they are "forced" to clean their room, do their homework, ask me if they can play at a friends house, tell me where they are at any given time, answer all texts and phone calls from me or my husband, be polite, hold doors open for people when we are out, etc. I have a 16 year old son, I know what the teenage years are going to look like in this house and if the girls turn out like their brother when it comes to respect and following mine and my husbands rules, I don't really have anything to worry about. But thank you for jumping to conclusions about my parenting from a couple of practice shots of my children.

you made excuses for the hair being mussed and got called on it. then proceeded to say that your 9 year old "told you" she wouldn't sit for 10 minutes. and IM jumping to conclusions? no, I dont think so. you set the stage for that one.

These pictures are great and so are the poses as stated above me. You captured some really nice photos, thanks for sharing.

Would you care to point out WHERE I said she said she told me that she would not comb her hair or even where I stated that I asked her too? I said I did not ask her to comb her hair because it was a 10 minute practice session (a time limit that I put on all my practice shots with the kids). You sir, have not only jumped to conclusions but climbed a huge cliff and jumped off. I'm unsure why you have decided to be somewhat rude toward me, but I can't control your strange outbursts on my parenting or the control of my children.

i never said anything about your kid telling you she wouldn't comb her hair. please show me where I said that.
I said that YOU didn't bother to get her to comb it, and that SHE dictated the time limit to YOU. which is exactly what YOU said.
didn't jump to any conclusions. you seem to be though.

i dont know what happened in this thread but i read a few sentences and its going off track XD

I think the first one is a winner, particularly in B&W. I think that the gray background needs to be white for impact, and also feel that the whole scene needs a bit more light – more of a high-key approach. Here's my take:



Very beautiful girl, by the way. She's going to break many hearts without even trying
