Know this one well! two teenage daughters and a small boy!good shot Basia

Basia McAuley, about 1 year ago

OMG!! Thanks everyone!!! Your responses are so super quick!!! Just showed my son the finished product and now he can’t stop laughing! I guess the way to put a smile on their face is just keep taking those photos!

marcusjohn, about 1 year ago

Yes I can, but mine is only 2.5 so I’m sure I have bigger ‘Angst’ to look forward to..

This great work Basia, love how you took the basic capture of the pose and turned it into this awsome image.. Well done

Basia McAuley, about 1 year ago

Thanks so much Marcusjohn :o) And, yes.. You do have this to look forward to ;o)

missmunchy, about 1 year ago

soooo great! Is he posing or did you catch him in the midst of his anxiety?? i love the processing (as always…) and he is positioned perfectly! Great job on cathing him from above too, totally makes the picture!

Basia McAuley, about 1 year ago

Thanks Missmunchy! It was a half pose, half real! I was trying to get him to pose but he was getting frustrated with sitting there for me so he started to get fed up.
