Here is my favorite photo (out of dozens) I took of my niece and nephew this past weekend as we celebrated Christmas in Wimberley. Expression is everything in a portrait and I really like the kids' expressions in this photo!

I LOVE this photo! Adrian wants a bite of that carrot!

Nice exposure. What was your lighting set-up?
MIL - I glad you like it! At first I thought Adrian was looking at Sophia but I soon realized it was indeed the carrot that fascinated him so much! :-)
Larry - I was using my rig of a flash with Lumiquest Mini Softbox on my monopod triggered with a Pocket Wizard.
Cheers!

Good expressions on both of them. Good interaction between them. Adds up to a GREAT environmental portrait. Really nice work.
Thanks for the kind remarks Patrick!
Cheers!
