Hello everyone! I appreciate your wonderful comments!

The photo is of our son Nicholas "Nickey"...
He gets mistaken for a girl ALL the time :) hehehe... He is just a sweet beautiful boy! :) When the girls and I are playing dress-up and Nickey is playing with us...my hubby dares me to put a bow in his pretty locks of curls...not even for play...hahahaha (I am tempted to take a "pretty" photo though--hehehe). He IS "ALL" boy, and I am happy to keep him that way :) #3654819

This is an awesome portrait, Lavone and your son is really handsome. I love the photo quality and his skin tones. His expression is adorable and fitting for the holiday season!!! #3655501

Denise M. Snyder December 01, 2006

Lavone, this is just about the sweetest portrait I've ever seen!!! The lighting is amazing, and I cant get over the clarity and smooth skin tones! But those eyes and his little grin are beyond priceless! I'd love to know how you get the skintones so smooth... #3655948

Lavone Vannoy December 01, 2006

Thanks Melissa!
It was SO fun taking these "Santa" photos. He's two, so you have a short amount of time to get the shot you want. :)

Hello there Denise!
Thanks for the compliments. Photoshop 7.0 is my favorite for most all of my post-process. I used an airbrush to smooth the skin (by hand or "mouse" rather--hehehe).

Have a WONDERFUL Holiday! :) #3656062
