Photo Shoot with the Youngest

In recent years I've stopped going to the portrait studios in Penney's and Wal-mart and have begun taking my own pics of our children for their yearly portraits. I don't buy their school pictures either ... way too expensive (especially with five kids) and not always the greatest quality either.

This afternoon I took the Youngest outside to take his portrait pics. It was very overcast (in fact, we had to wait a little bit for the sprinkles to stop) which I thought would help avoid shadows. Since I didn't take any pictures with the sky in them, it didn't matter that the sky was white and gray with clouds instead of blue.

I used my fixed 50mm f/1.4 lens for the whole photo shoot.

















What do you think? Which do you like the best? I'm debating between a couple of them.

These pictures are also my submission to Perceptive Perspective's "Kids" theme.

Now I have to find the time take the other kids out one by one for their own photo shoots!
