“My eyes are an ocean
in which my dreams are reflected.”- Anna M. Uhlich
My little guy is 19 months old- anyone who has a toddler at home very well knows that toddlers do not stay still. It’s like they can only be when they are moving, it’s part of their intrinsic being. And this little boy is true to that nature.
The weather was cloudy and cool this afternoon and I took him outside to enjoy it. It took all of 10 minutes and 25 images of him running around before we had to go in. But for a brief moment, a nano-second really, he looked up at me.
I am in love with this image, with his big brown eyes, so full of promise, his quiet reflective expression, the baby curls softly blowing, and the little hint of a smile- I want to keep this image in my heart as a way of holding on to this age, just for a little while longer.
And one in black and white, with a different crop:
I really love them both, but I think the black and white is timeless! It really is one of those images that takes your breath away!
Beautiful image! I know just how it feels to capture that fleeting moment that your toddler looks at you! It is so gratifying to capture it too!
Oh to catch that split second on camera is the best feeling in the world! What beautiful eyes, this is a gorgeous shot
Oh my, those eyes. How can you ever get mad at him?!? Just gorgeous!
What a great capture! His eyes are just stunning.
Oh My Gosh! Those eyes!!!!! Stunning! I love teh black and white! (drool.)
Awe! I love it!
You will treasure this always. Love his deep brown eyes and his beautiful curls!
