I have noticed that sometimes the most striking portraits are the ones that weren't posed. On Friday I was talking to a new mom while she was comforting her 5-week-old before our portrait session was to begin. We were casually talking when I noticed how beautiful and confident she looked as she held her baby and talked to me. So I picked up my camera and before she even noticed, took this shot. It's so natural, and the glow of her new role in life really shines through.
I had to show this one off, too -- I wonder what he's dreaming about?
