this has a old world style (16th century or so) to it.. she could possibly be the next queen..she has that regal look about her..

I thought the same thing...very dutch 16th century or maybe 17th. She's more likely to be an actress/dancer/singer....unless she meets Price William in the next year or two. LOL

So beautiful! Victorian almost in it's beauty. She was/is a natural model and you captured that perfectly. Love that light, truly beautiful light. How I want you to come take some shots of my children before they lose all of their youthfulness. LOL!! So beautiful! My new favorite from your gallery.

People tell me that I look like I'm not 'working at it'. I'm very casual and get the person to talk to me and I shoot casually (apparently) so they get used to the lens in front of them.

this has such a serious look for a child, but i really really like it...it's like vintage portraits where everyone got dressed up and had these intense looks on their faces-like this is a serious affair..
we're so used to seeing children smiling and laughing and playing, that it is really nice to see and know that the young people also can sit and contemplate and think deep thoughts! beautiful!!

Alex has always been able to do any look she felt at the moment. She loves the camera and really considers it a friend and a chance to act. She's amazing!

Thank you. I really love to look at people. Sometimes people see me just looking and I'll bet it feels intrusive. I try not to do that.
