@F.J.: Thank you, I love his eyes also. All of my kids have stunning eye color. None of them got my eye color which I was bummed about. I have hazel eyes and hubby has blue eyes. Blue eyes are not dominant however all of them have blue eyes! I was really hoping at least one of them would have my hazel eyes but it just wasn't meant to be.....

Helen from Melbourne, Australia

Ha... they all try the haircut sometime. How cute is he?
These are wonderful portraits Dawn. You will treasure them all the more as time goes by.

@Helen: Thank you Helen, I treasure every photo I have of my children. It is fun to look back at older pics of them as they have aged. We laugh and have a ball. I am just thankful I can take nice pics of my children so that when they are my age they can look back on these "photo sessions" and smile about the fun they had with mommy in the garage studio.

@allyy`*: All of my kids have created "crazy" haircuts, all of them happened in kindergarten year. I wish I would have photographed the other two kids with their kindergarten cuts. This is definitely one for the memory books. ha ha

LOL.. cute. At least he didn't do like my nephew, he cut his hair then did his sister's too!

26 Jun 2007 1:42pm

@DTW: LOL, no luckily each one of them stuck with just their own hair! ha ha

Levine from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

HAHAHAHAHA! He cut his own hair? LOLx! Thats funny. Well, its fun being a kid. Very cute shot! What happened to his eyes? It doesnt look right to me. I like the natural expression on his face. Nicely posed.

26 Jun 2007 2:01pm

@Levine: That is just him, not posed at all. I don't believe in posing young kids (well mine anyway) I just let them do what they want and I try to capture them just being them. You should see tomorrow's pic! It's a dandy.

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States

I love the small asymmetries-- the hair, the angle of his face, the ears, the size of the eyes, even the freckles. It's a beautiful photo that makes you study the subject and know, maybe a little, who he might be.

@Seraphine: If you knew him you would laugh because I can rarely get a serious pic of him. This one is my prankster, I call him Dennis the menace.

Yvon from Meerkerk, Netherlands

My mom used to give me haicuts like this, and I hated it. I guess it's better to do it yourself (and blame yourself). Lovely portrait series. Well done! (and beautiful kids!!!)

@Yvon: Thank you for the comment, I truly have been blessed.
