Earlier I posted some pics from my first wedding shoot, well here are some pics from my first kids portrait shoot (other than my son who lives with a camera pointed at him!).

Work colleague wanted some black and white shots of her two boys after seeing a stall by a professional franchise studio that came to work one day. after being told what she wanted would be £800+, she asked me if I could do something similar. She wanted contrasty B&W images to be printed BIG, like 20X30 inches... (She loves the results by the way!)

These are a couple of the shots from the day, the first being my overall favourite!
What do you guys think?
(PS - were shot at her home with just my Sigma DG500 Flash, no studio for me!)









The last I love, but was a lucky catch as he though I wasn't looking and the composition is a bit off, cutting his chin off slightly...

Wow! Fun, creative framing and compositions, and nice b/w conversion. I especially like the moody feel of the first one.

The older one looks like he loves to pose. You got some great expressions out of him. Great job!

Wow, these are great. The first is my fave... or maybe the second... oh, I don't know, they're all so great!!!!!

Wow - Cheers for the nice comments guys. I though they may have been more harsh!

Looking at them now, I think I would have achieved what I wanted more if I had shot against a pure white background with better lighting, though as I don't have any of this at the moment, I had to make do!
