Gato Family

The Gato family invited me to their house in hopes that their oldest daughter would be relaxed and enjoy the portrait session. So when I arrived I just played with her for a while. She showed me the "Ho Ho Ho" and pointed to the Elf that was sitting on top of the shelf. She told me some stories and even showed me how to play with a few toys. Eventually, she helped me take a few pictures and loved playing with my lens puffer (helps clean dust out of the lens area on my camera). By the time the backdrop and light was setup, she was raring to go! She was so energetic...I loved it!

I think that this one is so precious. I softened the image up a bit so that it became even more angelic.

And the love that started it all.
