Family portraits

[Uncle Frank]

At the end of our visit, my daughter requested some family photos. I didn't have much gear to work with, but I had wonderful subjects :Love:.

My son-in-law is a super daddy. He even changes nappys .

frank.....
awesome images
love the selective color one with gramps, too

so......
did YOU change some diapers?

 

[Uncle Frank]

You bet, Greg. Dad had to go back to work shortly after we arrived, and Nancy had a new program to launch, so she had to drive in to her company's local office every day. That left me to be mother's aide, and since my daughter had a c-section, she needed quite a bit of help. I took care of the bottle feeding, diaper changing, cooking, and cuddling (my favorite)... and loved every bit of it. In fact, I'm suffering from a severe case of Shelby-withdrawal right now.

Frank, these are precious images. What a beautiful family in #2

Thanks, Gordon. I owe Dave Hobby a big thank-you for teaching me the dual exposure technique that made the shot possible.

Lovely images, Uncle Frank. I am very happy for you and your family :biggrin:

All of them are great, Frank, but #2 is really special. I especially like that you categorized it as formal. :biggrin:

Your family is very fortunate to have such an expert photographer keeping track of Shelby along her way.

shelby-withdrawal....
that's the sweetest thing i've ever heard
i'm so glad for your reply

i can't tell you how much my heart is warmed when i arrive to see a new baby and the extended family is there, beaming with glee

there is nothing like the love of a grandparent to brighten one's day

They are all wonderful but that last one is precious. She looks so peaceful.

These are just so precious.......What a lovely baby.

 

[Philippe Roger]

Wonderful set, Frank! Shelby is so lovely: look at that serene pose in the last one...

 

[MikeT]

Great looking family photos Frank!

I like 2, 3 and 4. Number 2 and 4 are wall hangers Frank!

You did good with the fill flash due to the the window in the background.

Of course these are outstanding Frank!! I love the one of your daughter and Shelby in B/W and especially love the last one!!! Are you changing your screen name to Grandpa Frank? Can't wait to see more!!

 

[gaikwad_us]

Very nice family pics, Frank. I liked the black/white where your daughter is soothing the crying baby. Great memories.

Thanks,

 

[sonyam]

These are outstanding Frank. I'm so happy for you, and I'm sure your daughter was delighted to have your help. I look forward to seeing more of her as she grows.

 

[Uncle Frank]

Thanks for all of your kind comments, folks. I spent all of Wednesday in front of the computer, editing Shelby pics. I've got tons on them, but since she can't do much yet, there isn't a lot of variety in poses. Fortunately, she has a number of expressions...

We won't see her again until October, but, hopefully, we'll be getting a lot of pictures so we can keep up with her growth. I can't wait until I can communicate with her on a more grown-up basis, like games of This Little Piggie. Just look at her beautiful toes. :biggrin:
