Anya: If I could shoot children as well as you, lady ... I would actually take them for clients, your photos of families and children are just so magnificent. :jealous:

Every night as I drift between my dreams and conscious imaginings I create images in my head. I create images of children being children. I dream of the innocence and laughter childhood depicts and let my mind roll over the endless amount of possible ways a photograph can captured that essence.

Yesterday I felt like the luckiest photographer in the world! I got to photograph this little Mr. Personality! It was as if he walked out of my dreams and into my session!

Even luckier was I as his Mommy is a wonderful photographer (and person!) and made this session and extras special treat!
