Those are some beautiful blue-eyed babies you got there! My son used to rock the mohawk as well... be careful, though, now that he's older, he won't let me take pictures!!!

Some really cute shots of some really cute kids. You might want to use a little fill flash or a reflector to open up the shadows when your subjects are back lit. It will also give some catch lights in the eyes for you.

I'm afraid I am too new to give advise as I have only just started myself. But I do love those pics and being a father of 3, I never get tired of taking pics of my 3 kids, they always look brilliant

Nice start and keep posting

Such cute kids. Take all the pictures that you can, cause when they get a little older they will run from the camera. Just a perfect age for good photos. Bobbye

These are very nice portraits. Perhaps you could have used some fill light but I think the slight shadows are working for you. Beautiful children, by the way.

Welcome to DPS!

These are very good shots and really cute poses. My favorite of the set would be the last one. I love the perspective you've chosen.
