You know I like to get up-close-and-personal, but usually only with young subjects. I don’t think adults would appreciate having a lens that close up to their face, nor would I want to shoot them that close. However, it seems to be forgivable with kids. They don’t shy away like adults do. They seem to be more intrigued by the reflection in the lens rather than feeling uncomfortable by the exposure. I’m thankful that kids don’t swat away my camera because I so love to capture them up close, especially when you have a subject as beautiful as Miss Malia here.
I just love the soft light on her beautiful skin. She’s grown a lot since the last photo I posted of her hasn’t she?

Malia has really grown. She’s beautiful. You and Malia’s mom must cause a ruckus when you take the girls out for a playdate since they are both such cuties. Nice photo, I like how close to her face you were and her expression.
Hugs,

She is a cutie! Very nice closeup, and lovely light. Little ones are so much easier to capture, since they are not the least bit self conscious of the camera!
