Twins' 3 yr "homemade" portraits


 My husband has been telling me for years that I can take pictures just as good as what we can get at a studio.  I have a little bit of insecurity about that, but I decided to try this year for the girls' 3 yr photos.  My biggest issue was lighting.  I decided I'd make a frame out of PVC pipe so I could then clip up sheets to use as backdrops.  We have a south facing window in our living room, and I thought I could use natural light.  These are the outcome...  I am pleased.  When we get a little bit of extra money, I'll have some printed for our family.  Oh, and please excuse the funny positioning of the photos.  Blogger has a new format that I haven't quite figured out yet for posting. 

This one turned out to be my very favorite!

Mary- I told her to laugh

 About here I had to bribe them with a time of playdoh play after we got all the photos.  I got tons of cheesy grins.  Hannah is the one yawning here...

And I wanted to get some of them with their unborn baby brother.  Used my remote shutter control to get the shots.

Cindy, those are great pictures! You are very talented. The girls are so darling! Hard to believe they (and Jack almost!) are 3! Are they excited about their baby brother?
