Description
Gabbi is the daughter of my close friend Ofelia Slater, the woman who did the makeup in many of the modeling photos you see on my website. She is four. I last photographed Gabbi two years ago, and well, it always amazes me how fast kids grow up. Just two years ago Gabbi wasn't even talking, back then I had to wave a hackey sack wildly in the air in order to catch her attention.

And now? Well, there isn't any better way to say it than that I feel Gabbi's personality is unstoppable. She is a diva. She could be grumpy one moment and then, as soon as I point my camera at her, a little smile creeps onto her face. She loves looking at photos of herself. "Who is that?" I ask her. "That's Gabbi!" she responds.

Hope everything is going well guys . Spring break here in Palo Alto... just taking it easy and relaxing before I get back to SD on Sunday.

Technical info: photos from this series taken yesterday, Tuesday March 29th using the Canon 1DS Digital SLR camera and the 85mm 1.8 USM lens. Shot taken with her sitting down and looking up at the camera. Weather was overcast (perfect for portraits) and slightly rainy. Taken at Duck Pond near Palo Alto; use this place a lot because it is windy.
