When I took Valentine's Day photos of my daughter last year, I decided to play around with some black and white edits and came up one I really loved that I refer to as "gritty". When a friend of mine saw the image she loved it and asked if I could create some photos of her kiddos in the same style. I was happy to work with her adorable little ones and got a couple great shots for the edit. Of course we also captured some other cute photos that I did some standard editing on. I love the way they turned out! You can see them all here, as well as the image of my daughter that was the inspiration for this photo shoot! 

...and the inspiration photo.
