Keegan Wong
I cannot stress how beautiful this is…from afar (when I browsed through your gallery) the shape your kids are making looked like a heart, and from close you can see their innocent expressions and the true nature of being a kid again…this is just beautiful, if not stunning. Outstanding work again Basia.
Basia McAuley
Thanks Keegan!
Marvin Tunstall
great shot!!!!!
Cathy Middleton
Wow Basia, fantastic. Such a rare thing to get three of them together like that. (I can’t even do it with two). Did you set it up with lighting etc, or was it more a spur of the moment photo? The angle and lighting work really well.
shadowzone
wow what a beautiful capture. just so natural!! well done
Basia McAuley
Thanks Marvinunstall, Wattle & Shadowzone! They were just playing and sitting together on the floor so I got them just to sit together and the light was just natural day light. All very simple really.

Oh so what…you started having kids at age 12? :}
I know how hard it is to get three kids to work together. Kudos!
Basia McAuley replied
Thanks Von! Yes, getting them all together was challenging to say the least but it was worth a couple of tantrums (from me!!) Ohh.. And thanks about the age thing! ;o) No, I was between 25 – 29 when I had my 3 kids.
Shannon Rene' ...
beautiful shot! ( i can rarely get both of mine together for one shot either! i totally feel your pain!)

Catherine Davis
They’re absolutely gorgeous, you don’t look old enough! Beautiful photo!
kellyjomitchell
lovely! i just LOVE when i get a great shot off ALL my kids at once. I think those who don’t have kids often don’t realize what goes into these shots – it takes patience and an ability to choose the right moment to even attempt the shot – let alone the talent to compose it this beautifully (:
greeneyedlady
excellent!!!!!!!expressions so serene and gorgeous…i only have one child and i couldn’t imagine getting him into such a perfect shot as this! these children are so beautiful in this brief moment in time! love it….........
jennydarina

JenniferW
Oh Gosh – This is divine… I have been trying to take a group of my six Grand children without success…
Such a beautiful relaxed shot.
Basia McAuley replied
Thank you so much Jennifer :o) This was a hard photoshoot, it took me about 200 photos to get this 1 ‘relaxed’ one!!! In the end I just said ‘don’t smile,, just sit there and DON’T move!’ ha-ha!
missmunchy
GORGEOUS babies! They all have the same eyes!
and GREAT PHOTO!!!!! I am totally impressed that you got such a good one of all three!

Rany Lutz
Well done! Sweet pose, they look so innocent! :)
yorgi
Gorgeous kids and what fantstic tonality. Was this an in camera B & W conversion or Photoshop. The skin tones in this are perfect.
Basia McAuley replied
Hi again Craig! This was not an in-camera conversion but it wasn’t PS either,, I often just use the basics of ACDSee Pro 2,, I try not to use PS unless I’m really trying to create textures or other obvious PS work as you can see in some of my shots.
