Messy Miles

For this photo shoot with Miles it was first things first. Give him a sucker, have him get all sticky and messy, then let him play in the dirt and have him wipe those dirty hands all over his face. As soon as the "make-up" was done, it was time to start shooting away. : )

Miles is my friend Alexis's son and if you couldn't tell on your own, he is so darn cute! He wanted nothing but to play play play and if I even tried to "set up a picture" he would immediately cover his face with his hands and cry. Then occasionally peek through his hands to see if we were watching. ; ) I'm telling you, it was so adorable. This photo shoot was such a blast. I had a really hard time choosing what pics to post because there are so many good ones. I guess thats what happens when you have a freakin' cute kid!!


























Also new to this post...I'm trying out a new watermark. What do you think? Is it too obtrusive? Distracting? Or do you like it? I would love some feedback.

Dying over the first shot. I've been on the look out for a good tube. You'll have to fill me in.

I love the black and white of him crying(?) and mom consoling with the reflections in the water. And the tubes. And that last one.

I like the water mark. Sometimes it was a little distracting, but other times just fine. I personally like it at the top or bottom of the pic.

So awesome Kiera. The only time I get excited about my family being "shot" outside of a mall place is when I come here to see your pics. I love them so much. And I like the watermark on the bottom right hand corner.

I like the water mark on the 2nd & the last 2 & one other one in the middle; the ones where the print is a little smaller and the font color kind of matches the background, in the other ones it's a little distracting. Just my opinion.

You had so many great ideas for this photoshoot! I love how your stuff doesn't look like everyone elses.
I think the watermark is fine, and prevents people from stealing your great work.

Kiera, these are some of my favorite I've ever seen from you!! The lighting, the location, the model are all perfect. I prefer the watermark a little smaller and maybe in some adjust the transparency so that it doesn't distract. Is the watermark only for the posted pics or also for the printed ones?

Jenica, No, I don't. Should I?

Marianne, A new camera? How exciting!

Thanks Jess!! The watermark is only for web pics. I agree whole heartedly, I will be adjusting the size and opacity. I was just experimenting.
: )
