I had 2 shoots today..all kids. I just wanted an opinion from a different point of view. I do appreciate it! I am sure the parents will like them, but I like to see what other photographers though of them.

Stunning portraits! I love all of them! I'm sure the parents will be thrilled! I love the dreamy blur too, makes the kids look even sweeter.

Great job!

I really like the first image. The softer focus gives an "angelic" quality that works with the white they're wearing, and the composition is great, and a little unique! I like that they are looking back over the shoulder.
In the second one, I'd say that the kids are just a little too far back. You lose some details in their faces, and the reflection isn't really required here. (just my opinion). The B&W is great though, if a tad dark.
I think the soft focus on the third one might be a touch too strong, but again, I like the composition. Playful, yet serious.
Finally, the fourth picture is a beautiful portraiture with strong composition, but it looks like the girl is a little tense. A more natural look in her face (even if no smile) would have done wonders.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on them, and a little overly critical probably, but I *DO* love them all. Seeing others' photographs like this really help me see where I can take myself. Good job! Their parents will love them.

I really appreciate the comments! And critical is what looking for art! It just makes me look a bit further into my work. I am as critical of my work as anyone. Thanks for the constructive criticism!

I'm just speechless, they're all so cute!!! The only thing I would even consider changing is the black and white one... the cut-off reflection could be cropped out all the way; I'm not sure if I like it half in or half out. But that's my uneducated opinion. The others are beautiful!!! :o)

These are quite exceptional. Fantastic is maybe even an understatement.

Most of them, as far as I am concerned, are flawless. To me, I think the one that's in black and white is weaker, because the kids expressions to me are "blank". Not curious, not having fun, etc. Just staring. I think that would make the parents less likely to buy that.

Real nice work.

I like these two very much!

This one looks a little spooky to me :)

I think this is a great shot with some cropping to remove all the space to the right.

I like all but the black and white, and I think that is just the pose/expression. I wouldn't crop a thing.
