Downtown with the coolest kid......

Yep, I can say that because he is mine. :)

Not only is he strikingly handsome(*smile*), he is also brilliant, considerate, kind-hearted and compassionate. I cannot say enough about him, but take my word for it, he is amazing.



This is not a great picture, he is squinting in the sun, cars in the background.... several things I don't love, but I had to get a photo of this stop-sign!

And in the spirit of the stop sign, I present you:
A blast from the past! You know you want a shirt like this.
Rock on. :)

It's that time again! "Tween" Modeling Contest.....

I am looking for a few "tween-age" FRESH FACES!

Do you have a cooperative child between the ages of 9 and 15 years? Do you want to win a FREE custom portrait session and a FREE mounted 11x14 portrait? If so, then YOU may just have the next FRESH FACE of A Beautiful Light Photography!

Entering is simple! Just email one small, websized photo of your child to me at: sunshine @ abeautifullight.com (remove spaces). A simple snapshot is fine, just be sure we can see his/her face. No professional portraits, please! :)

The contest will be judged and voted on by several of my photographer friends (not me). The winners will be announced here and by email no later than 6-15-08.

The catch (isn't there always one?) is: I get to choose the location and the style of the photo shoot. These sessions will be fun and casual and more hip and trendy than a normal child portrait session. I will have creative control of the session and will advise on clothing and hair. Don't worry, it will of course be tasteful. ;)

Remember, you will receive a FULL session if you win and a beautiful mounted and coated 11x14 print (over $200 value!).


*The deadline for submitting photos is May 15th, 2008. All winners will be notified via email.

And since we are talking about tweens, I just have to include photos of a recent tween session. :)
