And he's off...

Offered to do a family photoshoot for a friend from work today. I'll take my hat off to anyone who earns a living by photographing kids. I had read the books and blogs and was well prepared to get down low and entertain her boys. The three year old was more than willing to co-operate, having announced that I was his best friend as soon as we met at the park. The two year, however, lived up to the reputation of 'terrible twos' and insisted on doing his own thing. I've some cute pics alright - just none of the four of them together!

Nikon D7000
1/500s f/5.6 at 105.0mm iso500 full exif

You did a great job of catching who this little man is. Love how the only thing touching the ground is the ball of his foot! V

difficult to anticipate the random impulses of a two year old...still you captured his adventurous spirit very well...V

Very nice, Mairead. I admire the skill of people who can shoot true candids of kids. V
