Such a fantastic set, Madoc. I always enjoy seeing pictures of your children. They always look so happy and full of live and energy. Megan has such soulful eyes - especially in the one where she's holding your hand, and when she's showing her bobo. Both of the girls look like little princesses in #9 - such a sweet shot. I love your boy's expression on #23 - he's sure enjoying that cone! The ones of them running are perfect portrayals of children and their energy. I can tell they like being the subject of your photographs. :) I hope you're able to find more time to devote to your project, but appreciate you taking the time to share these with us. :) ncshutterbug · 2008-06-22: 21:47

Looks like alot of fun. I am glad that you place the emphasis in your life on the things that are most important... your children. You can tell from all of these pictures that they love you very much. I know you will do great with your project as well. Just keep up at it. From what I have seen thus far in your work here, you never cease to impress. makaid · 2008-06-22: 21:55

Excellent, Madoc, looks like you had a lot of fun! Love the perspective in #3, great shots! ScubaLiz · 2008-06-22: 22:00

These portraits of your children are amazing. I think Kelly looks the most like you. :) I love the portrait of you and your children, as well as 17-19 and the running photos. You have a marvelous way of capturing their emotions. Good luck with the project and with finding the time to work on it. It is always such a challenge to balance your priorities, but you seem to be motivated. Look forward to seeing your work. :) mclps · 2008-06-22: 22:50

Its all in the eyes, you capture some great looks. I love the look in #8. Great composition in # 12. All very beautiful children. You are a very lucky guy! There are too many wonderful shots to talk about each one. Great set! etodd80 · 2008-06-22: 23:04

Wow, I am speechless. These are extraordinary. You capture them so well and so beautifully. You bring their personalities to life! I also enjoy seeing their joy as they explore their world and play (running, eating ice cream, plaing in sand, etc.). #13 is very sweet and filled with such love! And #18 is a very cute perspective. It makes her look so tiny. (Ok, so not so much speechless but still in awe. ;) ) vollenda · 2008-06-22: 23:32

Beautiful children What a fanstatic Family !! What a simple but Great Saturday ! Ohhh she got hurt on his tiny leg... I can see tears in her eyes.. :( ThomasChu · 2008-06-23: 00:33

beautiful set...what a lovely way to show th pleasures of a summer day....and the mishaps :) cariad · 2008-06-23: 01:24

Always a pleasure, great set. joycephotography · 2008-06-23: 02:25

Wow! Great set Madoc. Fantastic shots of the children and wonderful photography. All excellent. GnatBytes · 2008-06-23: 05:14

As usual, your photos of the children are quite enchanting Madoc. They are all captivating and it is very hard to pick favourites but to my eye these are really outstanding: #4, #5, #10, ,#11, #14, #19, and #21. The facial expressions are priceless — and quite soul-stirring! jagungal · 2008-06-23: 06:31

So beautiful photos! Kanya · 2008-06-23: 06:37

working on something you like can be really fulfilling, but i guess that nothing compares to the joy a child can bring when you see his/her face glowing when we choose to dedicate them some of our time :)… and you really seized each expression of joy ( and not only :( ) on their faces… i love the 3rd one… original perspective :) superb! persi · 2008-06-23: 08:43

Ayoye que ça fait bobo, la #8 est vraiment excellente, malgré l'ampleur du drame... Rickyyy · 2008-06-23: 09:11

your children are so beautiful and you do a great job of capturing their joy...not to mention the amazing shot of the house fly and the family portrait...is that a timed shot or did someone else take it? dadlak · 2008-06-23: 09:42

Great shots Madoc! They're very lucky to have such a carying, companion and such a good photographer father because that way they will not only have the memories of a happy childhood, but also great photos to help them remembering those times... =) amagala · 2008-06-23: 09:57

Stunning post... :) beautifull children maciut · 2008-06-23: 10:15

Toujours aussi belles ces photos ! Merci Madoc de nous tenir au courant de tes projets, et si tu dis que l'on peut t'apporter un quelconque soutien par nos commentaires, alors c'est un vrai cadeau que tu nous fais ! Bonne continuation, tu es sur la bonne voie ! maudlaurens · 2008-06-23: 10:22

Madoc... even with all those beautiful shots, I had an immediate favorite. #13 for me shows a truly happy and content bunch. Not to mention that all of you at once really shows that absolutely uncanny resemblance. your kids don't look like you, they look EXACTLY like you. So, I'll be selfish this time and not hammer through your technical accomplishments and choose the photo that simply projected a feeling that I enjoyed emotionally. After all, if you can touch someone with a photo of virtual strangers, isn't that the pinnacle of art? Oui. mikenj · 2008-06-23: 10:42

super, super, super shots!!! Lovely little ladies and gentlemen!!!! I think #21 is my favorite although they are all ust wonderful!!! abbeyh13 · 2008-06-23: 10:59

these are amazing shots! I love especially #13, the portrait of you and your children. wonderful smiles :))) tantatantan · 2008-06-23: 11:16

one day these portraits gonna be famous..so many smiles together,,wow,,,it makes my day! TIM927 · 2008-06-23: 11:24

Vous avez les plus beaux enfants. La lumière derrière Kelly (#12) est superbe. Un superbe portrait de famille (#13). Très spécial. Un simple d'été samedi est le meilleur! Le projet avait l'air très excitant, mais prennent le temps de se reposer trop mon ami. Emma · 2008-06-23: 12:05

They all have your eyes!! Such happy looking children!! Great personalities too!! Awesome smiles!! SheriJ · 2008-06-23: 12:41

Cool shots on a Summer day. Your children are beautiful and lovely. leocheung · 2008-06-23: 12:52

J'adore les contraste de couleur. Et la profondeur de champ dans la #3 fait une job débile! Et que dire de la série 14, 15, 16 ? Simplement magique! Bravo! merchillio · 2008-06-23: 12:58

BEAUTIFUL shots :o) PeggyM · 2008-06-23: 13:01

your shots of your children charm me always. I can't stay serious, they catch me and I start to smile always. yes, this is pure joy! great work! Pikapol · 2008-06-23: 13:01

It´s always a pleasure to visit you and contemplate the wonderful photos you bring to us. simply the best. storytaylor · 2008-06-23: 13:18

you are great, this set is wonderful, the kids are real beautiful and nr.3 is a perfect shot, I would have done it giodinu · 2008-06-23: 14:03

beautiful set of your children, they are all beautiful. i especially love number 12, it is very 70's!! fionarobinson · 2008-06-23: 15:28

I believe Megan's smile could melt the coldest heart. hope her knee recovers soon. Kelly is becoming more n more charming. glad to see Thomas has got his two incisors back. lol what a happy family! smilingranbow · 2008-06-23: 15:50

beautiful kids!! amaranta · 2008-06-23: 15:57

I find this set full of expressive, successful children portraits. But among all these I have to remark a particular note for the shots no: 1 (I consider this a very good balanced one), 3 (a nice original idea), and 18 (an impressive tender moment). SorinM · 2008-06-23: 16:13

revelation, esp. caterpillar and motions. fotolapeta · 2008-06-23: 16:49

Everyone looks so happy—great set. photopoet · 2008-06-23: 16:56

I love 13.... such a happy looking group! All really well done portraits of the kids, impossible to choose a favorite among those! DancingDolphin · 2008-06-23: 18:08

De magnifiques portraits dans des situations très variées noptek · 2008-06-23: 18:20

These are wonderful photos yet again - your photos do reveal so much of their personalities, as Vollenda says! #4, 5 and 6 are brilliant, and so is #21. kangshung · 2008-06-23: 18:39

Madoc, tu ne m'en voudras pas j'espere si je te pique tes idees sur ce post pour tenter de les reproduire ce week-end lors d'une sortie en famille. Je ne pense toutefois pas arriver au meme resultat ;) RodolpheDeus · 2008-06-23: 21:33

Now those are some cute kids, I love how you have caught the expression in their eyes and the joy and wonder of childhood, lovely post. youlookmahvelous · 2008-06-23: 21:54

Simply Superb Saturday! Best of luck with your project. signsnwonders · 2008-06-23: 22:38

Ah Madoc. You have captured the innocence of youth! The eyes just come to life and jump off the pages in these images. Congratulations on capturing some absolutely beautiful images. Even though the eyes are so captivating, I'm a HUGE fan of your shallow DOF shot with the catepillar!!!! =) MHJphotos · 2008-06-23: 22:47

Superbe! NatinKool · 2008-06-23: 23:31

L' un de tes nombreux meilleurs post a mon avis ;) excellent portrait de famille bro. ils ont des yeux d'enfer tes p'tits,ils sont génétiquement différent lol sur la 4,on dirais que Megan se prépare a peindre une oeuvre d'art ! bref,bravo,bon travail,de bons souvenir pour ces petits bout d'humain. Ezechiel · 2008-06-23: 23:38

These have to be the cutest kids ever!! Love all of them, filled with action, smiles and fun. Great job. ; ) pattyb · 2008-06-24: 01:05

very nice set, feels very natural colors. good work alashotokan · 2008-06-24: 09:00

wow... great post.... love all of them... alantan1982 · 2008-06-24: 09:29

This set is a real healing cream for my wounds... :) I was so disappointed lately, as I`ve heard some negative feedback on my boy playing loud with other kids on the street front of our house! There is a fountain and when it is very hot, we also place a "crocodile" pouring some water around on the street, the kids love it, they scream and lough and everything (of course even the passing cars) get wet... I just cannot beleive some people get insulted because of that! I think laud scream of happy children is the best melody for the ear! And I can definitely hear the happy scream from this set! And I love Megans "suffering" face, it makes me lough, as Jamie looks exactly the same when he shows his "bibis" (injuries). No 3 is a brilliant perspective, I have to save it! And it is wonderful, that beside your project you still have time for these wonderful kids! They just love you (all those lovely smiles into your camera!) longimanus · 2008-06-24: 10:10

I'm impressed by your "easy" way to catch fantastic moment. None of your shot is ordinary or banal. You manage to mix b&w with color easily. N° 20 is too cool! (; MarcoCastagnaro · 2008-06-24: 11:19

these portraits...really amazing! you managed to capture every feeling of those kids, especially happiness. bravo! ppierrot · 2008-06-24: 12:46

beautiful set, and a big wow - #3 ! what a nice background to a macro-subject ! ;D parja10 · 2008-06-24: 13:45

ils sont terribles, pleins de joies ,c'est beau à voir...quelle complaisance aussi....de très beaux clichés natural · 2008-06-24: 15:17

#3 pour l'originalité du point de vue #11 pour la profondeur de ce regard et le tragique de la situation accentué par le n&b #12 pour la lumière Et ma préférée: #18 pour la magie de l'instant, la fragilité du moment et l'émotion dans les yeux et à travers cette petite main qui serre la grande. Encore un set réussi, et si je puis me permettre une très jolie famille! matabou · 2008-06-25: 07:13

Ma fois un après-midi qui irradie le bonheur. Je pressens quatre enfants sur ces images délicieuses et j'adore la découverte de cette petite chenille si délicate. carmitage · 2008-06-25: 09:51

Tes photos sont toujours aussi magnifiques. Continu de nous faire réver stp. Les photos de tes enfants sont magnifiques car elles refletent à chaque fois l'amour que tu leurs portent. justmypictures · 2008-06-25: 14:09
