I’ve got a thing for redheads. And our friends Colleen & Jim have one of the cutest redheads around–their daughter Harper! I remember the first time I got to do portraits of her & her mommy; Harper was about a year-and-a-half with a short crop of already bright hair & these huge pools for eyes. My favorite shot of her from that shoot was one in which she’d come up so close to the camera to peer at me that only part of her face was in the photo–but one big eye was featured. And now, she’s almost four with the same red hair, much longer, and those green eyes. This time, I got to do the whole family–including baby brother Grady, who has the best bald head ever–at the beach. The sunset set their hair afire, & they just did their thing. I’m in love with so many of these shots!
