Since I got the most emotional response to that one, I had to vote for it.

You have a knack for capturing the essence of kids. I like the Anya shot because of the angle (child relating to adult) and her ever so sincere little face. The Lilli shot is a close second. With her blonde hair and white vest the whiteboard works really well for the background. With JerJer the background is a little too stark.

Of the adult shots, my favorite is the Michaelanne. Love the way the horse’s ears catch the light, just like the top of Michaelanne’s eyes. I also like the casual way she’s holding the crop – posed but natural.
