Description

Taken the other day. My middle guy, JT, sitting in a box that he had put on the dining room table (good thing his Dad didn't catch him LOL). Available light, converted in CS 3 for a peachy b&w look :)

TGIF! Had a crazy busy start to my day, finally I'm getting to sit for a few minutes (didn't think that would happen!).

Exif: F Number: 1.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D

Your portraits are playing beautifully with eyes in a unique way that describe the character of the poser/s!!
Love the way they not look at the camera, it's not easy (especially with kids) to get the right capture! And you get right all the time!!!
Really unique and fantastic in the way you do it, and you let to do it to the poser/s!!!
Fantastic work, Jennifer!! #6848046
