A photog class project and the task was making a high key b/w portrait. So amazingly difficult for me. A new found appreciation for portraiture work in natural light and pp editing…Schew….
Meet Jake, he’s two, and very use to a camera in his face, or rather in front of his father’s face…lol

I agree with Luke and he probably said it better than I! What he didnt say is how darn cute your child is! Beautiful capture and lighting Joe! Awesome tones too!
Thanks Tina, that’s so nice to hear, of course. Big grin I have now. :)

Thank you, Sandy! Yes, indeed sentimental for me. Hard to be objective artistically when it’s your own kid…lol Thank you for the kind words. :)
