My Beautiful Boys-- Part 1: Owen

Well, I hinted at it earlier, and I'm totally stoked about my little mini-session with my boys today. It's the best photo shoot I've had with them in.....a really really really long time. Seeing as how they both have a horrid case of Photographer's Child Syndrome, my expectations are never very high when I set out to take their photos.
I've been meaning to get some done for their valentine's day cards to give to family and friends at "school" and since V-Day is actually coming up next week, I thought I should get on the ball. I bribed them with candy and movie rentals and they were digging it, so I pulled up my big-girl-optimism pants and we set out. They did great! I decided to break the blogs up into Owen and Ayden separately, since I couldn't pick just a few to show you. So Owen's up first.
Oh, and I also numbered them for the grandparents, so if you want a copy of one, email me or let me know in the replies what number and what size you want it, and I'll email you a copy.
Warning: picture overload pending......

I'm thinking of having this one done on canvas, but I'm hesitant about the color, since I'm mostly a black and white girl. However, I don't think the b/w has nearly as much impact as the color. If there's any other photogs out there reading this who'd like to chime in and let me know what they think about this one in canvas, I'm all ears!

amy - i agree sort of....sometimes i see it, sometimes i don't. but a LOT of people say he's the spitting image of steve-0. :)
casey - thanks. i agree about the color. The photoshopping needs some more work though - i just did it real quick and I can see where I missed some spots. And the fence area is pretty sloppy. I'm going to keep working on it.....
I'm hoping there's a photographer or two lurking out there that might have some cc (constructive criticism) for me.
sarrah - that''s because this is the only outfit that they own. other than pajamas.

I too am a b/w fan, but this one looks great in color. Do you ever use photoshop actions? (if not email John and he can explain them better than me) There's one I'm thinking of called "modern antique" that you might like- it's like a black & white but a little color showing through...
