Very nice lighting on all of these. Our son turned 1 about 3 months ago. They are really fun at this age.:D

a kid loved by all (I assume mom and dad and grandma and granddad and probably others)-

sigh....

if all kids could have it that way-

yes, if you're a grandparent and you get to see your grandchildren and love on 'em, you're fortunate indeed-

Yea George, we tried to keep the cake off him for a bit...it actually worked well...now next year may be a different story! Thinking he might look like your little guy then..haha.

Thanks for the kind words everyone....he's fun to photograph for sure. Just finished a book for him (and parents and grandma and uncle/aunt and.....you understand). About 150 images ended up in there...out of about...geez....beats me.

Great fun!

For his I used Blurb...as in: http://www.blurb.com

I'm going to check out some others for future use as there are many. I just did a wedding book as well and waiting to see the quality. A friend who shoots many weddings as well has had good success with them. I like the fact you can use the stand alone software locally (as in on your computer) to create the book then upload it.

Thanks for the kind words. He's a blessing for sure...now I have a whole year to take another 2000 shots for his second birthday :wink

Oh, I actually used Blurb too for my 2007 Portfolio ... it's quite good & the software is easy (loved the 13x11 hardcover version & quality) ... I just had a REALLY bad experience with the 7x7 softcover & actually heard that they use different printers for those different sizes (it looked REALLY bad) ... :scratch
