Finding Portraits

I really enjoyed taking these photos. All but one of them were taken at my house. All the ones of my dad were taken in the basement and two of the ones of my mom were taken in the kitchen then the one in the middle of her was taken at her work. My mom is very loving so I got a picture of her and fluffy, she smiles a lot so I got one of her smile, and she's an excellent cook so I got a picture of her getting dinner from the oven. My dad is VERY goofy and has a very strong passion for hockey so he pretty much begged me to get that first picture of him and it turned out very funny. The middle is just an average portrait which still turned out a little goof, and the last one I tried to show what he does for work because it is a big part of his life. I used a lot of sharp focus and formal balance. I edited a couple of these by enhancing them as well as putting the one of my mom in black and white.
