B is for Bunso. B is for Bella.

bunso: buns´o' n., youngest in the family

I love this photo of my little Bella. We were at Borders in Uptown when she saw the huge "B" on the building across the street. I love the way she is silhouetted and has her hand on the window, looking out. These small moments with my child seem insignificant, yet they will be the ones that will remain in my memory forever.

Soon, my bunso will be grown up and will leave me to be out on her own. But I will remember her being this small. She is so funny, so sweet, so pretty, so genuine, so happy. It's that magical time in your life when you are truly free. Kids are only young once and if I miss this, I may never have chances like this again with my child.

Thanks Bella. :D

TALLEY FOTO - Stephen Talley Photography

Stephen Talley Photography (Talley Foto) is a client of mine. I designed and developed their web site. I met Stephen and his staff during an all day photoshoot in which Chloe was hired for American Girl Magazine. Stephen, J and the rest of the staff are incredibly nice, unilke other photography studios I've dealt with in the past.

Stephen has an incredible sense for good, natural looking lighting and he was a way with people that puts them at ease. This usually results in a great shot. Check out his work at the Talley Foto web site.
