Sky Up Close

I only have two more days with my sweetie before she heads back to California. Sorry for all the family shots, but they are my favorite photos this week. I'm loving the clarity of portraits with the new lens. You can see every freckle in perfect detail...

Beautiful portrait. So crisp. Your granddaughter is very photogenic.

[robinwarner]

she is stunning and your shot is beyond phenomenal and i am very impressed

[Laurie Higgins]

@lorihiro Tonight I took my granddaugghter to the theater because that has always been a special thing we did together. I got so many hugs in the past ten days, but it was still not enough for either of us. She will spend her last day and night on the Cape with her Dad, who misses her just as much as me (or maybe more). After she left me to go into his house, she turned around and ran right back into my arms for yet another hug. I cried the whole way home. Love is such a double-edged sword.

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

This belongs in a frame, 8 x 10 or larger. It's gorgeous!

[Julie Ryan]

what a beautiful girl! Great portrait!

[Laura Thornton]

I've been out of touch. What a sensational portrait. Oh, I love those freckles. She is just adorable. Double edged sword is right. At least your daughter and my daughter live in great places to visit, not that I get there often enough.

[Ellen E]

gorgeous! You are gifted with these portraits!
