Description

18mo from a session I had today. Thought this was a great capture of this little man and his reflection! He was all go-go so it was nice to capture him sitting still for a moment! 9am EST, sunny, fill flash used.

This is a very cute photo. Even though his face is not completely visible, he is looking toward the water as any good life guard should. His shadow is a very nice effect and the simplicity of this comp makes your eyes focus on your main subject. Nicely done. #462229
