I did a spontaneous photo session of this little sprite using just a window in an otherwise unlit room—hence the dramatic light. I like the textured but otherwise neutral background and the baby’s clothes–none. There is nothing more sumptuous than all those folds and ripples. And pure simplicity so you can focus on the little details and features and the expansive and stark emotions. I know that starting a musical instrument is best at a young age, so I’m delighted to see her getting a head start.
