Madison Sucking Her Thumb - Toned

Here's the last tonal effect I did of this photo of Madison sucking her thumb. I think this is my favorite. This and the sepia one.

Little Angel Madison

Who doesn't think of their nieces as little angels...well, most of the time. I thought Madison would look kind of cute floating on some clouds, so here she is.

Madison (Kid Portrait)

This is a portrait of my little niece Madison. She's a fantastic model to work with as she just loves having her photo taken and loves striking up all sorts of poses. Unlike her older brother who threw a major tantrum when I pointed my camera in his direction!

Madison is expecting a new baby brother or sister any day now.

Portrait of Tina

Portrait of Tina

This is a portrait of a good New Zealand friend's niece, Tina. It just so happened that she came to work in Orange County for a few months and ended up that she was staying in an apartment building about a mile from my home. To that point I had never met her or knew that she was living here. Talk about a small world! Anyhow, Tina was a willing model for me to practise some portrait photography on. Thanks, Tina!
