Advanced Pro Week 2 Vary the Pose

This week I wasn't able to arrange a photo shoot with anyone so two of my kids became my subjects. I did have a shot list and I did plan some..but I should've planned a little more. I would have chosen different clothes for example. It is also often a challenge shooting my own children, especially when they have been bugging each other all day! I need to remember to give them scenarios and things to play out. Sometimes I find my self slipping into the "photo shoot mother" mode of giving commands. I need to do better at that next time. We went into a simple field that was pretty green and I stood a little higher than them to get the first 3 shots. Getting them to touch each other was a little bit of a challenge at first, but then they got real silly. The last two shots are what happened when I asked them to give each other a hug...awe sibling love.

*Editing wise, I ran into a few problems with color casts, and a few other things, which is why I would have maybe chosen different clothes. Also a question for Brooke, my daughter has one eye that is half hazel (like the other eye) and half brown. I sometimes get a catch light in the lighter eye and not in the eye with brown in it. Do you think that is something I should try to fix in editing or just leave it as is. I have found that brown eyes are more challenging to capture catch lights.
