I got the pictures I took of my son back today. Since I dont own a digital camera I purchased a Kodak throw away with a free digital cd of my photos. I've uploaded 8 of the ones I really like to an album.
One agency wants me to send them 6 snaps of my son. So if you guys could tell me the ones you like the best that would be great.
If you think I shouldn't use these ones and try again also let me know that.
Wow is he beautiful! If you are going to choose from this batch then I like the first, second and fourth pictures but I honestly think you could do much better with photographs of him! He really has great features and a beautiful smile. You need get down to his level and take some photos of him where the angles are not all from so high up. Put him in a swing and take some pictures of him but most importantly, get pictures from a better angle. Also, put him in a nice, bright colored SOLID t-shirt. Nothing with a busy pattern and get a nice, smiling close up of his face (maybe head and shoulders or just head and torso). Good luck. I can't imagine an agency would not want that little muffin.
PS. Red seems to be a good color for him. Try Red, bright blue or something similar. Stay away from that dull orange shirt you have him in. It drains the color from his face though he is still absolutely adorable.

thanks for the great input i really appreciate it alot! do you think i should leave his hair out or in the little single braids? i'll comb it better the next time if it should be left out
i tried getting down to his level but everytime i got on one knee he would do the same thing you can see it in some of the photos.
he likes to mimick people alot

I like both. He is just sooo cute. I would take a few with each look. I think agencies would love his hair. He really is one of the cutest kids I have seen posted here. I'd be shocked if he didn't get an agent. What a smile!

What an adorable child! And a smile that could brighten up any dreary day. You are blessed! I just wanted to chime in and tell ya. Everyone gave great advice and I can't add anything more useful other than, GO GET EM! Good luck on the agency search! Actually, you wouldn't be the lucky one, the agency will be!

I am also late and agree with the ladies. I know when I was taking pics of my son they advised taking photos on his level. My son is 4 and yours is younger, but perhaps someone can distract him so he doesn't notice you are down on knees. They are so smart though... I say submit and they will tell you if they want more photos. Also with the hair do it the way you mostly have him, but variety is always good. When I submitted my son I had his hair up and back (he has long curly locks) and they said take photos with his hair out and down. So now that is how I do them.
Be POSITIVE and your light will continue to shine, Be Negative and it dims every day....
