I had a family shoot on Sunday. For me, my job is therapy. I put all I could into this shoot. I think the little boys had a good time.

Thank you all for being such incredible friends and family to me. I am still returning the calls, emails, text, facebook messages, tributes, jpg messages and there have been hundreds! It is a great comfort to know that you all loved my Geronimo so much. If I over look anyone, please forgive me! Much love to you all.

Thank you so much for the spotlight Deborah!
Thank you so much for nominating my image Alexis!!

I can see you did put all you had into this shot, Regenia. These little guys are so cute and the composition is very touching. I love the big brother's arm around his tiny brother. They look as if they are truly fascinated with the boat, and the reflection in the puddle is superb!! Very professional and dynamite portrait!!!

A very powerful capture that encompasses a snapshot with a very professional shot. It melds together so well that it's so easy to forget it's a snapshot of a family member-Like a 2 for 1 deal
Regenia Brabham said (10 Mar 2011):
Thank you James. I try to bring those candid moments into all of my portrait work whether in the studio or on location. Children are natural explorers and full of wonder so introducing something new and exciting to them not only aids in getting those one of a kind shots but gives me and them a lot of joy.

SO much in this capture to comment on, Regenia: depth, angle, POV, soft colors, shared play with brotherly affection, sleeves just a little too long, impending water marks :) Lovely!
Regenia Brabham said (15 Mar 2011):
I am so glad you all like this! I thought it was a sweet shot. I am always trying to come up with something new for each shoot I do. Hopefully it won't get copied. His sleeves are a little long but I am glad for his sweet hands. It was chilly out that morning.
