The prospect of being linked to these ladies is somewhat daunting as they are all amazingly talented and majority are professionals (and trust me you can see why!). So little old hobbyist me is hoping I don't drop the bar too low. If you have found this post from Katie Woodard Photography - welcome thanks for being here. And can I please ask after stopping by here, can you please move on to Pastiche Photography. Oh and if you're really game, please leave a comment!
This months theme was Close Up Portrait. I decided to take photos of my two beautiful boys - Ash aged two and a half, and Harry three and a half months. Harry is a dream to take photos of - he sits still, he smiles nearly on command, still has the baby wonderment going on in his eyes, oh and did I mention (again!) he SITS STILL! Ash on the other hand is a typical two year old, always on the go, and it was after much bribery of chocolate and other treats that I managed to get him to sit (relatively) still for two seconds at a time to take some shots. I'm not entirely happy with Ash's shots but in these situations you have to make do and in recent times he has been asking me not to take so many photos of him (probably exhausted after my 366 Challenge last year) so as a dutiful mother I shall provide him some respect!
So please don't forget to visit other wonderful photographers in our group, and I hope to see you again another time.
Over and out
Belinda, Your boys are adorable. my favorite for Harry are the two pictures on the right and my favorite of Ash are the two on the left. Great job getting up close. I too am just a hobbyist so I know how intimidating it can be to be in a group with professionals, but you take great pictures! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I miss those baby days already!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear you about both being in a group of professionals & on the toddler! I've got a 19-month old who does not sit still. Ever. It is a wonder I was able to get anything of him when trying to get up close & personal :)
Belinda - those pics are gorgeous!! My favs of Harry are the two on the right and my favs of Ash are the two top ones. Stunning. And they look great in b&w!
ReplyDeleteHey Belinda, I am also a hobbyist and I am a little intimidated by everyone in the blog circle! So many great photographers! Your pictures are beautiful and I love how you did storyboards with the same shots of each boy! Very creative and a neat comparison!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful Belinda! I love how you have focused on each of your boys beautiful features. Love the second one of Harry laying on his back, and, oh my, your son, Ash, has the most amazing smile. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful boys. I can see their wonder & joy.
ReplyDeleteLove this, and your babes are so adorable. I like you've captured the same shots for each of them! My favorites are the profiles of them looking up, and the image of their smiles!
ReplyDeleteWell done for taking on another challenge! These are both great and I loved how you made a theme and kept it the same across both boys. Wicked.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Belinda! Beautiful shots and love the storyboards!
ReplyDeleteBelinda those smiles melt my heart! so beautiful! Lovely work!
