Valentine's day #3

[Mitchell]

This is my third year for this photo of my kids as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife. This was a tough year with my energetic toddler!

What an awesome idea, and very well executed. I love the expressions in this latest installment, especially.

Adorable kids, you should be very proud :)

Thanks for all of the nice comments!

To be honest, I wasn't that happy with this year's portrait. I don't think my second flash fired in this shot and I wound up with more shadow than I care for. The left side also looks a little hot, but the channels are not blown.

I was going to reshoot it, but I've run out of time. With all the nice words here, I'm going to print and frame it today for tomorrow's gift.

Thanks, everyone.

Beautiful...10 years from now you'll have a great series of how they have grown. Good job.

Great idea, very unique. Whole family will enjoy looking at them for years to come. Beautiful shots, i can see how little one has grown!!:clap

That's a brilliant idea and great images too - makes me wish I'd been doing something like that with our daughter.
