Learning how to take portraits of kids

[kat]

I have kids of my own and they are great subjects - even if they don't stop for a moment for a pose.

I've recently received Lightroom (actually had and lost now) and absolutely love it. These photos have been processed using that program.

Until I came onto this site and have done some reading and listenting do I see what is wrong with some of the angles, the eyes placement and even the focus of these photos (which were may favorites). It's a great thing to realize - now to get better.

So here are the beginning photos and along the way hopefully posted pics will get better!

I should probably mention that I am an at home mom with lots of time on her hands..lol 0
