Attempted Photo Shoot w/ Cousins

[realworld]

We were sitting outside on the porch today trying to get some nice shots in, but the boys just wouldn't stay still! After uploading the pictures, the shots seemed to me almost better than if they would have been posed!

I notice matching coloured garments. I love all that. Was that planned?
I love the emotion you captured and the colours and exposure are perfect. I like the angle too. A beautiful capture! :thumbsup:

Much better than a posed shot. This shows their wonderful energy. Keep shooting.

Thanks everyone for the feedback..

Alison- the clothing were actually not planned. My cousins and aunt came over to hand out and happened to be matching so I took the opportunity to grab my camera and head outdoors.

your skin tones are incredible here. I wish the mother's face was brighter, but the expressions you are getting from the kids make up for it entirely.

Taking pictures of kids is tough. I like these shots. You basically have to follow children around and hope for the best.

Thanks for all the feedback. I think just a quick dodge in PS on the mom's face might do wonders for this.. :-) I personally feel like taking pictures of kids is easier than adults because they don't become intimidated or self conscious in front of the camera and it allows you to capture more "real life" shots than with adults...just my own 2 cents!
