Catch Lights

I am taking Katrina Kennedy's Capture Your Kids' class.  This week's assignment was to photograph the kids using catch lights.  I thought, "Catch lights?" 

The definition per Wikipedia is .... a term used to describe the highlight of a subject's eye from a light source. Adding a catch light can help draw attention to the subject's eyes, which may otherwise get lost among other elements in the scene."

So I tried. What I discovered is that I LOVE the afternoon light that streams in through our windows in the late afternoon.  It helped to have a willing subject.

Matthew is so great about having his photo taken. He'll let me do it just about any time and anywhere.  The other two - well - not so much. Caroline was jealous so she consented. Andrew was a baseball practice and I know would not have been happy to be photographed.
