I just came across these photos on our camera, I had forgotten about them...a few weekends ago, we had a simple backdrop set up to take pictures of some things to list for sale on ebay. Parker wanted me to take a picture of him with this stuffy, and the first photo I snapped came out almost too good...I love that the lighting is so soft and natural, and it was actually a spontaneous, candid moment...but at the same time, it's such got such a perfect "Sears portrait" look to it that it's almost creepy ;) I tried to get nice a picture of both boys together in the natural light, looking right at the camera and smiling and embracing, but it just wasn't in the stars.
