Happiness is...

During a family hiking outing, I saw a downed tree across a creek that would make a perfect spot for a swing. My husband made a swing seat (with his minimal woodworking abilities!), and we planned our return trip. I used natural evening light and photographed the scene from the water.

Truly magical. Everything about it is just perfect. Beautiful lighting and composition. Fabulous model with a great expression. So inspirational. It's really rare, IMHO, to see photos that are so technically beautiful and also make you feel something. Well done!

Thank you so much for your kind feedback!

Now that's a well-told story. Simple, artistic, beautiful. Nicely done.

your work is sooo.. I JUST BOUGHT YOUR WHOLE BUNDLE!! nuff said!!

Awe thank you so much for such a warm comment!

This is a beautiful photo and of the type I prefer. It is a genuine, captured moment. Sometimes the blank affect of a model or a packaged smile aimed at the camera is too commercial. This photo puts the viewers there. Awesome angle and the color is great.

Appreciate your feedback!

I Love this!

this is about as precious as it gets....her face and expression is all her so this has an incredibly nice candid real feel making it that much more precious

excellent and amazing shot

Thanks a lot!

Tremendous. Beautifully lit and executed shot.

Your gallery is fantabulous and excellent. I like all the shots with warm regards,

Thank you so much!
