Cute Kid Thread 2008

As most of you know I rarely miss an opportunity to show off one of the grandsons. Joy and I spent the weekend in Columbus visiting with our 16 month old grandson Wesley. I am going to start things off with a few of him from this weekend. I expect all you proud parents and grandparents to join in with your cute kid pics. Here is your chance Frog post them up.

PS: I rarely miss an opportunity to post one of Joy either.

This is gonna be a fun thread.

In about a month, I'll probably be taking it over when my son is born :)

my son with his new sony h3, super zoom 8 mega pixel camera, last sunday.

OT, your whole family has stunning eyes.

and one from me. okay, 3. from last week, I had my light set up in the living room.

Uh oh - just remember you asked for it!

Thank you Adina. I think I first became really aware of how important it was to get good focus on the eyes form your images of the girls. I was always amazed at how they stood out and made the whole photo so much more dramatic and pleasing. I have made a special effort ever since then to focus on the eyes. This little guy is my only blue eyed one out of four children and four grandchildren. Makes his eyes kind of special to his blue eyed Pop.

OK ...
If I may ...
I would like to submit my pic for your review and consideration
as a "Cute Kid" for this thread (chubby cheeks and all).

Thanks

Oh, oh oh -- my turn! Don't ask me where she picked it up -- but a couple of weeks ago my daughter asked me to get pictures of her Elvis impersonation. Like I said before - I have no idea where she picked it up since we're more likely to listen to Elvis Costello than Elvis Prestley. :)

Hey we are off to a great start here lots of real cuties, but I know you guys got lots more cute kids sitting there on the hard drive just waiting to join in.

I'll kick in a couple more!

I'll play along. My daughter on our dive together last month in our back yard, Biscayne National Park.

first one is of Justin with his camera, the other is him Chillin on the steps.

Ooh lots of cute kids here.

Ok, so these are from March and May last year. I haven't been picking my camera up very much these days :(
Until I get some new one's, are these cute enough?
(Don't ya just love the shots that show scale lol :thumbsup: )

Oh we got CUTE going on now for sure. Nice additions everyone. Kids are so much fun to photograph. They don't have to be new pics just cute kids. I think when I get home I'll try to look up a couple of my adult kids when they were in the cute phase and post some of those. (Not that that they aren't still cute to me even if they are in their 20's and 30's.)

You have such an amazing family OT! I'm lost in the blueness of Wesley's eyes.

Thank You Julie! I know you got a cute kid hanging out at your house. Show us a few of your amazing family.

This is my 18 yo and my 7 yo daughter. I adore the look my daughter is giving Santa (Brendan). She knows it's him, but still wants to believe.

Absolutely wonderful Julie. Thanks for play along with us in this thread. I think you are a lot like me in that I have more fun with the images of the kids and now grandkids than any other kind of photography. Even though I love my sports and macros. The kids are still more fun and all the family and our friends can enjoy them with me.

bingo!

Okay here we go with more cute kids circa around 1982 (?). The little guy on the right is Wesley's dad from my first post in this thread. That cutie in the middle is Pepper523 who just happens to be Paul's mom form my second post in the same thread.

Wow...there are some great! photos of cute kids...and they are all getting so big. At least the ones I remember.

Here is a picture of my little one. Three and a half months old now

Here are a couple of my guys. Can't believe Jack's gotten the short end of the stick here. Would've thought OT had posted at least one of him. :)

You are right Pepper Girl I did slight Jack and his cousin Josh in this thread so here is one of my favorites of Jack in the pool and of cowboy Josh riding his bronco. Not new ones, but to me they sure are cute ones. (Now your little sis is going to want one of her in the thread.)

One advanatage of grandkids living with you, you get to shoot them whenever the mood strikes, took these thursday nite.

Posted too small on jpeg quality.

My Little Cupcake.....the blanket isn't as dirty as it looks...really!

OK, I will play along :) (like if I needed convincing,lol)

This is a fun thread. I'm warning you, they can't get much cuter than my grandson. :p

Yes, he's growing fast.

Whoops, just discovered my wife took these pictures. Is that OK?

I'm loving these great cute kids pics guys. Keep them coming. Kids, grandkids or the kid down the street desn't matter a cute kid is a cute kid.

Not a photo, but scroll sawn from a photo. I did this when I was more into scroll sawing portraits. I made a pattern from the photo and then used my scrollsaw to cut out the appropriate areas.

here are a couple from yesterday.

We need to think about a thread "Kids as Photographers". We have already had a few in this thread.
