When I posted my snow shots, I realized I hadn't posted my last photo shoot with little Miss Savannah. She was visiting at Christmas and kept me moving! We never ended up having a "real" photo session; dressing up for the occasion and trying to create moments. She has more energy than me, and one day, as the visit was dwindling down, I just got out my camera and followed her around. These are some of the shots I like best. I think her mom might have preferred that we got her hair combed better and maybe dressed her up, but these capture the true essence of her lively spirit. In case you're wondering what is in her hand, she quite enjoyed Twizzlers, and was running around carrying one and chewing on it.
I grew up in a home where there was a darkroom. One of my best memories of spending time with my Dad was when I got to help in the darkroom - watching prints develop, moving them from developer to fixer to stop solutions. I still have his enlarger and all the chemicals, though it has been a while since I set up the darkroom. Now I shoot with Canon digital equipment and though I've shot professionally for several years, I'm now shooting for pleasure, with the occasional self-project.
