Ian

It was my turn to serve in the nursery this morning at church. I know it's a blessing for the moms to be able to leave their children in good hands while they go to the service. But it's also a blessing for grandmas like me whose grandchildren live out of state. Ian snuggled in my lap for a good part of the morning and I was in grandma heaven.
Aw, lovely shot Ann!

He looks like a little angel. What a cute shot. :)

Good portrait - shows how he feels without revealing his face

I agree with Karenann! Angelic!! Love your POV!

@karenann Thank you Karenann! He was a sweetie!
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@dmariewms Thank you Marie! I did have a full-face one that was rather cute as well, but I forgot to ask his mom for permission to post it here, so I put this one up because you can't see his face. I ended up liking it better anyway after I cloned out the distracting stroller which was in the original.

@twinsplusone Thank you Sharon! He has the most beautiful blond hair!

He looks very sweet...and soft! I think I'll go find one of mine to snuggle!

I like how you processed this. Very nice Ann, and Grandparenting is fun.

@sgoodin1 Thanks Sara- and give your little one a kiss too!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick. I was pleased with the way it worked out too.

I like the motion/blur in this....it is so eye catching and colorful. I know what you mean with grandma heaven...I have not had that, but I have had "Favorite Aunt Heaven!"
February 6th, 2012  
How wonderful of everyone! He looks so focused.
February 6th, 2012  
How cute is this little guy
February 6th, 2012  
Nice shot. Good for you serving in this way

@espyetta Aunts are the next best things to Grandmas! Thanks MaryBeth!
@mrssmith Thanks Carla. He was just starting to warm up and move about. He'd been snuggling for about 15 minutes with me.
@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi- he really was a little sweetheart!
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian- it works both ways. The moms really appreciate it, and I get to play with some children and love them while I'm apart from my own grandchildren.

Great shot! I love the motion feel about his hair, and his very cool stripy top :)
February 6th, 2012  
great angle.. Beautiful kid very nice shot
February 6th, 2012  
His hair is like spun gold!
February 6th, 2012  
fantastic picture Ann! little boys love grandparents so much! I know my little one enjoys it so much and even behaves like an angel when he's with my parents

@alia_801 Thanks Alia! I think the camera had focused on his face which put the hair slightly out of focus- but it was perfect for the shot!
@inertie Thanks Inertia- he's a sweet one.
@allie912 Thanks Allison- yes and he had beautiful blue eyes too!
@woot Thanks Davide! Although he's not my flesh and blood grandchild, I enjoyed being his care taker for the morning and I'm sure his own grand parents love watching him too!
February 6th, 2012  
He is so adorable...a little cherub!

@kloud Thanks Bonnie- it was shot under florescent light, so I warmed it up in processing and added some saturation to improve the skin tone.
