Time to Update the pics

I took the kids pictures a few days ago so I could update their frames on the walls. Ginger turns 5 on monday and Jack just turned 3 and Gretchen will be 2 in March. It was fun to play "photographer" with my kids and I love playing around on photoshop with the pics, but I don't know how some of you photographers have the energy and patience to take pics of other peoples kids. That just takes too much energy and patience.... for me anyway. don't think it's my thing. preschool craft activities is more appealing. anyway...

I played with lighting effects in the hopes to hide the wrinkles of the black fabric I used. Last year, I cut the fabric out and painted the background so it would look smooth. THis year I'm feeling a bit lazy and thought I would keep the wrinkled look but try to tone it down a little. I love the coloring in Jack's picture. It was hard to narrow it down to one that I like for each of them. They all did surprisingly well.

anway, for you pro and budding photographers, let me know if you think the background is tacky with the wrinkles showing or if the lighting effect makes it weird. hmmm. maybe I should post the pics without the lighting effect so you can see the difference.
