I am in love with this photo I shot recently of my son and husband… Without realizing it, I had shot Ben’s superhero portrait– my two year old at his most heroic, proud to be standing in such a precarious place all by myself. The only thing missing is his cape.
One of my favorite all time superhero portraits was shot by fellow Shutter Sister Maile, and I love this polaroid by Kate Pulley.
Who are the superheroes in your life? Let’s see em! and then tell us why.

i spent the day with a superhero (of a certain sort). his name is obi wan kenobi (or thats what i’m supposed to call him). he, yoda, master windu and i spent today protecting our neighbourhood from battle droids. i’d call that superhero behaviour…here he is in his full costume…

OMG this is amazing!!! ๐
christine says
I thought you might want to fix the typo in the last sentence. It currently asks for our superhoes. But, I think it would work better with that missing R added back in!

Shutter Sisters says

Marcie says
I love this photo Andrea. Not only have you captured the superhero in your son (and husband)..but the colors and composition work beautifully!!!

Oh that’s wonderful! The expression on his face, the hand of security. And I love the plants outside, what a cool backdrop!

This super hero portrait is so wonderful and the composition of it all is just perfect
Kelly says
I don’t know if this counts as a "Superhero" photo, since my daughter is playing the bad guy. Every hero needs a villain, right?

My poor adrenals just can’t handle this type of shot, but my almost-two-year old is definitely giving me plenty of opportunity! ๐ Great catch! I love the photo!
Bev says

What fun! What kid doesn’t fantasize about being super powers and saving the world. Just after reading today’s challenge, my kids spontaneously obliged with a fabulous, new imaginative game . . .

I don’t think I’ve posted this picture here before… Sorry if I’m mistaken.
My little girl was in a huge hurry to try the next cool car and I think a cape needs to be photoshopped in here!

here’s my favorite little superhero. I shot this at a picnic we attended a couple of weeks ago. They had a facepainter there and this little guy wanted to be a superhero. I think it works:

My dear friend Elena is smart, beautiful, kind and caring, sings like an angel, and is just plain fun to hang with, but the thing that makes her totally my hero is her athletic ability. Several years ago she did her first triathlon and won her age group handily! Now she’s just weeks away from her first half-ironman (1.2. mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run)…and I have no doubt she’s going to rock it.
