Beautiful and heart felt capture, Shell. Wonderful tonality in the skin, detail in the highlights and shadows, and wire sharpness in the hair.

Thank you all so much for the POTD honor, and for appreciating this image in particular which is so special to me! I know we all love our children like they are the best on the planet, but I am telling you all, he is the perfect little man, and I am so lucky to have him! And, I am so happy to have shots like these, because I know he's just going to keep on growing up on me, and it's wonderful to be able to go back and relive these simple pleasures, and the pure joy and love of my children! #8627050
