The Other Man

I'm a happily married woman.  I have a great husband and two beautiful children.  I should be grateful for what I have and should NOT go looking for trouble.  But . . . recently on a sunny morning, I flirted shamelessly with another man.  A younger and very handsome man.  Oh, I couldn't help myself he was just my type . . . big brown eyes, a quick smile and the most wonderful  thighs you've ever seen.  

His name is Gavin and he's 9 months old.  Oh, I'm not the only girl he's cooed at.  There are many others, I'm sure.  But, I know the moments we had together (me behind the camera and him in front of it) will be special to me always.   

The Little Cowboy

Been rustling up some cowboys.  Little ones.   Couldn't you just squeeze those cheeks . . . and he is such a patient model too.  He is just one of those kids who gives you a range of emotion without much need for direction.  But that is the way I like to create children's portraits. None of that "do this, look here and smile" stuff really works well when you are trying to capture their soul.  Just let them be "them" and wait until they have that certain look that is just very simply who they really are.
