So many people don't realize what a difference light makes in an image. If you schedule a photo shoot in the middle of the day and there's not enough shade, you are seeing squinted eyes, bright spots on the face that take away from the subject, and harsh shadows. This is why I try to do shoots the hour before sunset or on an overcast day. something to think about if your scheduling an outdoor event. ; )

Didn't make it to Sandy yesterday. ; (

Vincent had appointments yesterday and today, so we're going to make it another time.

I'm also trying to catch up on some work here. Maybe I just want to hold a BABY! ; )

I recropped this to a tight square. I like it even better now!! ; )
