 We were celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday and her brother gave her a playful smooch. I love her gleeful expression and I feel this shot really captures the genuine warmth and affection they share.

Thanks a bunch! That's a huge complement of course, as she is one of my very favorite photographers. None of my kids would mind being compared to an Arbus subject :D They are actually my favorite subjects.

I love this shot. It reminds me of a Diane Arbus portrait. Not the subjects! But the semi-posedness of it, the pose that is awkward yet inevitable. The complete calm of his expression opposed to the jittery excitement of hers. The way he is so completely clothed where she seems exposed (even her teeth). And what do people keep saying around here? I know! Tones! You got great tones!
