Default out of my comfort zone....

As you all know I'm a landscape photographer (thats my comfort zone). But last night my friend asked if i would do a photo shoot of her kids and their cousins. She wanted some of her youngest cuddling with our daughter Emily. Than the rest of the kids at play. I agreed to it, but was definitely outside of my comfort zone. Overall I'm really happy with the way they turned out. The rest are posted on my flickr account, let me know what you think.

I think they turned out rather well, the second and third are great shots.

I really like the 2nd and 3rd ones, and I'm the same way not real comfortable taking shots of people.

I think you did very well! You got them to playing and photographed them in a natural state, which, I think, is always interesting. You really nailed "Miss Attittude", your third one is very nicely framed and the last one is very well composed.

Thank you all for the great comments. As I said this was my first time doing anything like that. But I think it was successful, the parents are really happy with them. My favorits are numbers 2 and 3.

For being out of your comfort zone you've done an excellent job.
