I hope his daddy comes hope safely!!! And I thank him for his scarifies!!! 1,3 and 6 are my favs, mostly because the feeling they portray.

I love 6 and 7. He looks so sad, but he is really cute! Great shots

Lovely shots! Your really did a good job bringing those eyes out from the boy, the only thing i would suggest is to bring the exposure down a tad. Other than that great work

I like the bright exposure and the feeling you have captured, but the eyes seem over done in a few, particularly 6, 7 and 8. I was goign to say 1 was my favorite, but those nails - WOW - so I will say 2, haha. Nice work.

Thanks! Most of my images are bright, that's my style! As far as eyes go, all I usually do is sharpen and bump contrast. I did play with his eyes more on #6 because of the hat, and I can see that I over did it here!

Why do you feel the need to focus on whether you think she is a good size or not? This is specifically for photography, not making someone feel bad about themselves. Twocolor, you look great.

I would be interested in seeing how you handle talking to a customer about their "bad taste." You can guide subjects with a few suggestions at the time of booking but the day of, you basically have to work with what's there. Plus, we have to keep in mind that none of us are the ultimate reference in taste. I don't like the make up either, but that's just me and I don't like make up much in general...

I'm sorry, but my responsibilities as a photographer END at telling the client that I think her eyelashes are over done and her nails are too long. I've done this family multiple times, and I feel that I have a good working relationship with them. I am pretty darn sure that would end if I told her next time don't use clumpy mascara and please have shorter nails. That is just tacky. Would you tell a heavy set person that you wont take their picture until they lose 30 pounds because your images wont look as good until she's skinny? My job is to take a person with all their flaws (because we ALL have them) and make them look beautiful!

There I will now step off of my soap box!
