    Two new pics of my twins

    Just took a few quick snaps in the garden of my twins. I love using my Fuchsia bush as a backdrop.

    Lisa had been made up by my 14 year old daughter and I couldn't resist taking her pictures. She looked so pretty.

    I asked Jenny (in the top image) if she would let me have a few shots of her too. "I'm not made up though" she said.
    "It's ok," I replied, "I'll just grab a brush."
    Well, I wish I looked as fantastic as Jenny, just from running a brush through MY hair!

    I just had to share

    What can you say? Just beautiful isn't nearly enough but that's all I got. Wonderful images Alison.

    Re: Two new pics of my twins

    Thank you OT. Your too kind and I think you must be one of my biggest fans
    I worked on a couple of others, today, that turned out pretty well. But decided not to put the kodak airbrush filter on them. I really love that filter.

    Re: Two new pics of my twins

    You have two very lovely daughters, Alison, and these pictures are great (composition, exposure are really good!). I am not a big fan, however, of girls at this age putting on make-up for photos. My personal opinion is that I think their natural, youthful glow is more than enough to make a photo special. I think you are right, though, in saying that your girls are model material. They are very photogenic, and seem to love to pose for mom!

    These girls get more beautiful every time you take their picture! I don't envy you for what you will go through when they are old enough for the boys to start to come around.

    Re: Two new pics of my twins

    OT, shrackman and dmm - Thank you both so much for the compliments on my girls. I'm glad my opinion isn't just me being biased.

    I know what you mean though shrackman. I'm not a fan of them wearing make up for photo's or otherwise. Jenny didn't have any on at all!
    But you know what girls are like...they love to dress up, put make up on and do their hair.
    And they all seeem to dream of being a model, singer or actress someday.
    I think it's because they see so much of it on the TV.

    Alison,

    These are 2 absolutely beautiful girls - runs in your family! The pictures are great - you did an excellent job. I agree about the make-up, and your girls are so beautiful, I don't think they need it for a beautiful photo. At any rate, the photos are very good. I love the facial expressions on both girls, and you always capture their beauty - I've noticed that with some of your previous images.

    You certainly have a photographer's eye, especially for photographing your children.

    Liz
