Tommy!

I had such a good time photographing Tommy who is nearly six months old. This is a great age because it's usually full of smiles and Tommy delivered. But I have to say, it "took a village" to elicit these great expressions. Mom, Dad and both grandparents used their best laughing, squeaking, and zerbert sounds to keep little laughs coming. There was even some singing of Tom Jones! Who knew a six-month old would dig that! Thanks for all your hard work.

It's photo sessions like these that reinforce to me what I've known as soon as I took that first photo. Taking photos is not just clicking the shutter. It's creating an atmosphere, an experience, a relationship with your subjects and then capturing the feelings and expressions within that experience.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and one of my favorite images to take are very close photos that highlight the sparkle and personality from the eyes.
The expression on Tommy's face here between his parents is priceless.

Thanks again, I enjoyed myself.
