Default 3 & 5

Finally got some decent pics of my boys for their 3 year and 5 year pictures. Thanks to everyone with your critique of my 5 year old the other day and especially to mstark70 who gave me the idea to use the numbers. I think it helped the kids pose a little and they were excited about having the number for their new "birthday" age. Anyway, here are the best shots. I'm posting one of them with the baby that is pretty good too on the critique forum. Any suggestions on these is appreciated too. Thanks!

HI Beth .. I like how you pose them .. the tree makes for a strong background .. maybe a little touchup on Logan's photo is all you need.. good luck

Your boys are so cute. And I like the number idea. Wish I had thought of that when my daughter was growing up. I am always looking at pics and guessing what age she was.

Thank you all. I'm not great with editing but here is my redo to make Logan look less "ghostly". Does he look too pink now?

Great idea of photographing them with the numbers. I wish we had done that with ours as they were growing up.

These are really lovely shots...and what a neat idea with the numbers. I love it. You could even let them decorate the numbers before using them...or do a before and after. You can see how their color likes change etc. Neat idea.
