BonnieJanuary 10, 2016 - 6:11 pm

How difficult to pick just one!!! Love them ALL! But I have to say, in spite of all the ridiculous snow last year, the one of the little girl with the gentle falling snow is pulling at my heartstrings.ReplyCancel
AprilJanuary 11, 2016 - 8:36 am

Curly hair baby in basket is adorable (plus I know him and that shows his sweetness). I have to give a nod to Ryan Browne. Sax, girl in fur with startling blue eyes, girl with flag in sunflowers and the girl lying on her belly with her legs crossed in background are other favorites. Too many good choices.ReplyCancel
EmilyJanuary 11, 2016 - 5:42 pm

All such beautiful photos!!! Hard to pick just one. My favorite is the boy playing the the sax with the sunset. The sky is too gorgeous not to love.ReplyCancel
MeganJanuary 13, 2016 - 11:31 am

I vote for the little girl in the snow. Total sweetness.ReplyCancel
Allie LaCroixJanuary 13, 2016 - 11:37 am

What a beautiful collection of photos! So hard to pick a favorite but I’d have to choose the two girls in the river making the heart with their hands. That one looks like it’s from a magazine!ReplyCancel
Christopher SemmesJanuary 13, 2016 - 12:03 pm

Love them all too Catherine. I thought we could vote for two if I read this right.
1st choice is Sax player with the setting sun.
2nd choice is the babies in the Tub.

They are all wonderful photos and those parents and you should be so proud of what you created and stylized their portraits.

Robert T.January 13, 2016 - 4:29 pm

I love your work Catherine! Everyone one of these photos shows pure talent as an artist. Congrats! You make it hard to decide but I will go with little children in the tub, I love their expressions.ReplyCancel
