Photography 101, Kiddos

So I'm new at this...very new. But my new passion is photography. I love the different look each picture has - the variance between colors, edge, brightness, texture, contrast...it's endless! So I'm going to do a mini-series on Photography. This first one is on my favorite subjects - children. They simply communicate volumes with a smile that makes their eyes squint, a furrowed brow, a serious face, a pout...or any face even! There's something pure and unrestrained in the joy or love of a child that is so much fun to see captured. And there's something innocent about them - baby hands, pudgy feet, crinkled eyes, wind-blown hair...why not capture everything you can?

Here are some of my favorite pics of some of the kids in my life. I think you'll see what I mean.

So weird, it posted my comment twice so I deleted it. Don't know why it is doing that.
