paulevelin, 7 months ago

looks gorgeous
excellent artwork
PennyEdwardes, 7 months ago

Thankyou! I quite like this one…
Birgitta, 7 months ago

Fantastic! I think it’s awesome how you take the time for your son. :)
The majority of my friends are photographers and I’m used to them simply
snapping their work, and that’s that. This is so time consuming! You put
your heart into it and it shows. :) You managed to catch that perplexed look
many babies have so well. (I haven’t forgotten about the drawing by the way.
I am SO gonna redo it! ;)
PennyEdwardes, 7 months ago

Thanks so much Birg…can’t wait to see that picture! xxoo
