I Heart Faces – No Flash

March 23, 2009 by Elaine

I took this picture of Little G while at the arboretum a couple of weeks ago. He’s inside a playhouse but next to a window and I love the way the light shines in his eyes and on his hair and skin. Not to mention that sweet smile just melts me everytime. No wonder he…
