Weekly Winners is a Sarcastic Mom initiative!

Here are some pics that I took (a little bit longer than a week ago) of two of Simply-Mel‘s kids when we met up recently in real life.

Aren’t the kids just totally gorgeous!? This little lady, was just so cute, I just had to indulge my girly side, and had to do some photoshop wizardry and give her a pair of wings. I also bumped up the highlights in her hair to make her look overly magical – but honestly the SOOC shot was very similar.

It’s so refreshing for me to get a chance to photograph girls, as naturally I have two very rambunctious boys on whom I practice, and dealing with girls is so totally different – particularly when they’re as obliging in posing in the cutest poses as was the case with Lulu.

What a cutie.

Not to be outdone in the gorgeous stakes, ‘Lulu’s’ little brother ‘Hooligan’ was also obligingly posing for me.

Hello gorgeous. I can see many a quizzical father halting you at the front door, asking you *just* what your intentions are for their daughters…good luck my good looking little friend.

This last one, is of my Flipmeister sitting atop the hubby’s shoulders, and to be honest, it was kind of a blah everyday photo, and then I decided to crop it down differently to my normal tastes, and went to town on photoshop on it (honestly I couldn’t tell you what I did with it, but I did some serious experimentin’ y’all.

Anyhoo, I’m pleased with how it turned out. Very different style for me.

What do you guys think? (oh and I was too lazy to put my watermark on it, because, well because I was too lazy).

Lastly please go and vote for me at the BCAwards (follow link from buttons above) if you have time and feel so inclined, and I’m also using this opportunity to remind any and all that I’m trying to raise funds to cover the costs of my dogs quarantine for when we emigrate next year, so if you feel that you can help out – use the red ‘Chip-In’ widget on my sidebar near the top right (you can’t really miss it).

Adios blogging buds see you tomorrow!
