These were impromptu shots off our bed, with an overhead light and an aimed desk lamp.

deep joyful, wise eyes....Often I can see pride in people eyes when I photograph them...here, I can see the pride of the photographer in the subjects eyes...and the mutual love.....thanks for sharing .......the painiting like pp, works nicely too....

Thanks phoenixvision!

I went with a toned down saturation, and brought up the red/aqua/blue colors more, the first image gives me a Gerber baby feel, from maybe the 40's or 50's (or at least a snapshot feel)...

Well done!

She really looks like she could be in a commercial.

Thanks luftfluss!

Beautiful eyes and beautifully shoot!! Very good!

The second is a bit too tight for me but the first is charming, one to treasure. I like the somewhat film like quality.

Great portraits, the first one is my favorite. And yes, those eyes....

flaviopetrone, Dr Orloff, ChristianRock - thanks!

Dr Orloff - yeah i had to rotate a bit and so I lost a little width on the sides, the top and bottom, well with a 90mm and as close as i was...it was a very tight shot...lol
