I did a "couple" photo shoot and loved my time with them.  They were easy and relaxed with each other and we had a fun time.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Well, I just had to show one more of Sofia.  She looked so cute on the step.  All I could see was a grouping of photographs. Thanks Sofia!

We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.

Sofia was such a little mover and shaker that I had to make a collage of all her dance moves.  She was just so happy and exuberant.  I did a lot of smiling that day.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.

The reflection photograph reminds me of a 40's or 50's advertisement and the other photo....I mean that face!  What a cutie!

For some reason I was inspired to do several Photoshop pieces of my Sofia shoot.  I just loved Sofia's little feet.

For the next few days I'll be posting photographs and Photoshop pieces of Sofia's photo shoot.  She was a darling; a little "mover and shaker" and was completely happy the entire time we shot.  She definitely was used to having a camera in her face and was a delight to photograph.

Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.

This photograph was an unusual capture.  I happened to be riding shotgun when we came upon this truck that reflected the entire road behind us (we were in the white car on the side).  Sometimes I just luck out!

A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it's far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality.
