Some portraiture from a birthday party I attended. These were the best portrait captures from the day. The little girl is super-photogenic and loves the camera. Since I was learning to use a flash anyway, she was incredible cooperative in letting me use her as the subject.
Grasshoppers were everywhere on the road. As we were driving down the dirt road to the in-laws’ house, the critters were bouncing off the road and onto the windshield (we did not kill any as we were driving slowly). But it was funny to see a shower of grasshopper infestation. Then when we arrived at the farm, this little horsey greeted us with his infectious smile.
