Oh…and you don’t look old enhristmas ough to have 3 children that age….Merry Christmas!

This is just perfection! I know how hard it is to get a set of kids to behave enough to get a shot like this. I love the curves of their bodies and how they are huddled together like they really love eachother. They also look very relaxed. BEAUTIFUL!

jjweston

A fine portrait…even Karsh would envy it…bravo

Basia McAuley

Thank you so much Jerry!

Keegan Wong

I cannot stress how beautiful this is…from afar (when I browsed through your gallery) the shape your kids are making looked like a heart, and from close you can see their innocent expressions and the true nature of being a kid again…this is just beautiful, if not stunning. Outstanding work again Basia.

Basia McAuley

Thanks Keegan!

Marvin Tunstall

great shot!!!!!

Cathy Cavolo

Wow Basia, fantastic. Such a rare thing to get three of them together like that. (I can’t even do it with two). Did you set it up with lighting etc, or was it more a spur of the moment photo? The angle and lighting work really well.

shadowzone

wow what a beautiful capture. just so natural!! well done

Basia McAuley

Thanks Marvinunstall, Wattle & Shadowzone! They were just playing and sitting together on the floor so I got them just to sit together and the light was just natural day light. All very simple really.

ltruskett

It is no surprise to me that you have had so much feedback on this photo. It is just plain excellent photography. Well, well done.

Von McKnelly

Oh so what…you started having kids at age 12? :}
I know how hard it is to get three kids to work together. Kudos!

Basia McAuley in reply to Von McKnelly’s comment

Thanks Von! Yes, getting them all together was challenging to say the least but it was worth a couple of tantrums (from me!!) Ohh.. And thanks about the age thing! ;o) No, I was between 25 – 29 when I had my 3 kids.

Shannon Rene' ...

beautiful shot! ( i can rarely get both of mine together for one shot either! i totally feel your pain!)

Basia McAuley in reply to Shannon Rene' Justice’s comment

Thanks Hahpistuff! Yes.. It was definitely a ‘fun’ shoot! But well worth it in the end!

Claire Armistead
