Niko - BIG 2

This little man is not only dapper...he's brilliant. I asked him what we breath and he answered..."oxxxxygen."

He pointed to my tattoo and inquired with a very serious face..."cross?"
"Yes, good job.  That's right.  It's a cross."  I answered.  His mom went further, "Niko who went on the cross?"  Niko smiled big and said, "Jeeeeeesus."

I love this location.  Not only for visual reasons...there are SO many pleasing to the eye spots every which way you turn...but shooting at LACMA this time around allowed me to glimpse into the world of a inquisitive toddler.  And that was such a gift. 

I got a text from Niko's mom later in the afternoon...after his nap.  She tells me he woke up and asked, "Where's Dawn????"

"Oh, Dawn had to go home"...she told him. 

Guess what he said in return....????!?!???!!

"Ooooooppsie daisie."  Cuz that's what I said to him during the shoot when he fell down.

This kid is bright.  Like a star. 

Brad & Zion

We were on our nightly walk when we passed a freshly painted black wall.  With only my phone camera on me...I grabbed a few shots.

They aren't "perfect."

Oh...but they are.
