Default Strawberry Picking

So we took the boys strawberry picking this past summer. I had the camera for about 3 weeks at that point and knew next to nothing about taking shots (know I know a little more than nothing so I'm learning). I have been going back over old pictures and cleaning them up in Lightroom a bit and I came across these.

Here's my favorite picture I've taken so far. Sums up my younger son nicely...


Evidence on his face...


My older boy.

I did play with it, kinda liked it better this way but I'm going to try it again. Can't quite remember why I didn't like it cropped so closely. But great suggestion.

Actually had that one printed up and it's in a frame in our living room. Everyone seems to like it--especially those who know the boy. He's, well, he's a handful...

I promise not to tell anyone.
These shots are wonderful....and he is adorable.
I agree that I would crop to have just the two boys in that last shot, but it is wonderful as is too.

Very cute shots, I like them. You've done a good job of capturing your boys being boys.
