Thanks Len. It's a simple setup that works very well for a shot like this.

I agree that her tiny pink toes are adorable -- as is her winning smile :-)  A professional looking portrait indeed, Len -- & Really cute! 

Yah, the pink toes....................!  Nice of you to take time out from your day to view this image & share your views.  She does tend to make life easy for this photographer on the one hand with her winning smiles but on the other hand, as I've said, with her busy lifestyle, these photo sessions are measured in seconds, not minutes.  Best, LM.

Very nice, Len. Beautiful little one for sure. - Sean

Long time no see!  Good way to start the new year.  Thanks for taking the time & effort.  Hard to get a bad photo of kids this age.  I can always improve but seldom come away from a session (fractions of a minute) totally skunked.  Best, LM.

The only 'demand' for my portrait work comes from my family, primarily my 3 grandchildren.  The truth is that it is me who initiates most of the portraits you see in my portfolio, the exception being this little one who, now, when she enters my 'studio-computer room', grabs a small stool & places it on the  white paper back gound I have laid out for this eventuality.  Then she sits there calmly while I rush around trying to get the lights and camera operational before her short 'window'  of patience runs out.  I'd do others if asked but seldom am.  Best, LM.

My thoughts exactly!  Thanks for your thoughts.  Best, LM.

Len.... Having joined the grandpop world just a short year ago, I can empathize with this shot and appreciate how well it's done.  The band-aids and rabbit add local flavor and will make the shot even more cherished in the years to come because it's "real".  Just excellent... Mike

Good of  you to drop by.  Next time I'll have the coffee on.  We can swap grand kid stories! In the meantime I could just go to your portfolio and check out your many fine offerings.  I was initially chastised by my  wife for leaving the band aids on for the photo session but I think she's come around to my way of thinking since I first posted this one.  You win some, you lose some!  Gotta love the toes though.  Best, LM.
