I love it! This is too cute. I especially like the expression on your older boy's face. #612529

I think this would be a formal portrait in my house! This is so cute--captures the personality of your son, I'm sure! Can I ask, you say it's natural light, but how do you get that light glow behind the boys? Thanks! Betsy Drew #612729

Thanks, Betsy! This is "formal" in our house too...I'll take fun images like this anyday over stiffly posed portraits!

The glow actually came from my b&w conversion method...for this particular action there is a step that adds a bit of a vignette, which makes it look like the center of the wall behind them has a hot spot. #613110
