Just back from a little birthday safari! Happy Birthday Zoran and Lily!

We've just celebrated birthdays from Redondo Beach to Santa Rosa where I got a few portraits in. My niece's (most photographed family award) has a 6 month old - now sitting up -- a world of new possibilities. I got a few images of her with a lensbaby (interesting spring looking thing, you focus by pushing it up, down or around)! Here is a sample of what it does. The focus area is very small, which really brings all attention to her eyes - which was where I focused.




I also got some images of my lovely daughter Lily, who celebrated her 23rd and is helping J&J with the three kids this fall. Here is one of my favorites of her.
