Thanks for the kind words. Lighting was 2 shoot through umbrellas to the left and right.

Hello Jason,
Wonderful series of children.
Some of the very best I have seen.
I assume these are your children. Both cute. Lucky you to have such willing and fun 'models' to work with and so convenient to you too.
Many of your photos in the series are highly creative and admirable. Well done!
Your sense of humor, use of camera angles, diverse effects, and use of the individuals and the two together are splendid and refreshing to see.
The overall quality is so high, it will humble many photographers. While I do find some more appealing than others and think some are 'stronger' than others, I would not eliminate a single one from your set. My general feeling is that each is 'perfect' in its own way as a part of the whole series. Together, they make a truly special gift for these children.
Keep up the good work and keep exercising your talent.
Sincerely,
Steady Hand...Show more →
Thank you Steady Hand. Yes, both are my children and yes, they work for peanuts...well, fruit snacks and crackers actually.

Fantastic! You have a great talent and your kids are not only beautiful but are at a wonderful age. I am just now getting into photography and my kids are in their teens. They want very little to do with their dad and even less interest in sitting still for a camera. I guess that is just the challenge I have to work with! Keep up the great work.
Thanks, and that’s too bad about your teens. I'm guessing fruit snacks and crackers won't work anymore huh?

Simply amazing work... I once came across your work on flickr/strobist, purely by chance and was amazed. Your command of lighting and technique is astonishing. It is a goal of mine to be able to shoot like you someday.
All the best in the new year!
Thanks for the kind words Jack.

They really are cute, but something must be wrong with your viewfinder because there are a few there where you almost missed getting him in the frame. Too bad.
They move pretty fast you know, I just get lucky.

Responding to you is something I'm not sure of, because it may only feed your pathetic attempts at attention grabbing, but I looked at the posted work and I can't find a single frame that even comes close to fitting the crit you posted. Perhaps if they were all dead center in the frames without any creativity, you would like them better? Indeed, this is some really fantastic work, in my view.
Thanks for the kind words Saraleksi.

Absolutely wonderful pictures. What an inspiration!
Hey Mark, he's actually got the lighting info on his Flickr, if you click the images. Here's the info for the one I think you are asking for.
"Strobist:
2 shoot through umbrellas, one left, one right. Triggered with PW's"
Yeah, lighting details are provided in each shot, and EXIF should be intact.

Hello Jason,
This is clearly one of the best photography topic I've seen, the serie is wonderful, boast excelent technic and great creativity as well as two superb models.
You've really catched those faces perfectly, and created an impressive number of sets, while keeping composition and framing almost perfect. Can't pic a favorite, it's too dam hard.

Wow! These are just AWESOME!
Steady Hand enumerates all of the technical reasons why these shots are so good, and I concur with his well-written explanation. But there is just something here that can't quite be put into words...
Simply fantastic work.
Thanks so much!

As mentioned by many others, these are the best kid pics I have ever seen. I mainly take photos of my kids and I have to say no other post has been as inspirational to me as this one. Excellent work! I love every single one of them! Thank you for posting these amazing images and looking forward to your future posts.
Robert.
Thanks Robert, I'll definitely be posting more.

Just really noticed that the original post is signed "Jan." Perhaps Jason's wife deserves the credit for these outstanding images. In either case, these are some of the best family photos that I have seen in a very long time. Thank you for posting. Headed to flickr to see more!
PS. Your children really are adorable.
Lol, no, it was just sorted by month. Jan = January.
