Default What Do You Think?

I did a family shoot for my cousin and her family. Here's a few of them...

Thanks for looking

Nakazato Family

Kris & Kaden

Jump Edwin & Kaden

And the last one...I'll call it "All Dressed Up In Hawaii" (as you can see... here in Hawaii, we don't bother changing our shoes... we wear slippers all year round... ha, ha)
All Dressed Up In Hawaii

Oh, and I'm so excited... my cousin is pregnant with her 3rd baby (A Girl)... and I get to practice taking pictures of a newborn when she arrives in April. YAY!

I think you did good.

If it was your vision to capture a happy family congratulations, it was a success.

Love the different ways you have presented the family - group, mother and son, action and the final shot that tells a story.

Nice use of selective colourisation.

Oh, Nikki, such joy! You've really done a great job with these. Those smiles are amazing. I'm not usually a fan of selective coloring but I really like what you've done with the third one -- it's very effective. What fun you'll have when that little one is born -- I can just imagine the joyful smiles then!
