There’s only one photo in this post. I photographed my granddaughter at a playground on her second birthday. My camera is definitely not a good camera for action, so I had to try to catch her when she wasn’t moving—which isn’t easy with a two-year-old.

This is a crop of an image that had a lot more in the frame. But I was looking at a book of portraits and saw a tight shot of a model’s face and immediately thought of using that approach with the shots of Eva. So that’s what this is. I did some processing to make her already-flawless skin even smoother.


I have other shots of her from that day, but including them would only detract from the impact of this one.
