This is my second cousin, Cami. She's an awesome little kid, no lie. I love photographing kids because they're so full of authentic soul and energy. That sounds really spiritual or something, but it's the only way I can describe it. A lot of times when adults and teens get in front of the camera, they become a different person almost. They start sitting up straight, smiling fake, etc. Children, they don't care at this point how they look and what faces they are making. It's 100% them.
This photograph along with some others that were at this location mean a lot to me and Bridget, her mom. This was in the backyard of my great grandmother's (her great great grandmother's) house. She just recently passed away, and Cami doesn't know it yet, but these photos are going to be very special to her one day.
Chan man you did a excellent job taking Cami and Bridg's picture..they were all so good but when you took them at my mothers house ,you brought back so many memory's..made me cry.the only thing missing would be you and "Elvis" sitting on the front porch ..love you
