“The Smile that I Love”

© 2014 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

Say “hello” to Ryan, one of my favorite people in the world. He is the baby of our family, and has been such an incredible joy in our lives. He is full of love and vibrancy. He loves to cuddle, hug, and kiss. Not a day goes by that he doesn’t tell us how much he loves us. I can’t tell you how many times my heart has filled because of one of his impromptu expressions of love. May you all be so blessed to have a “Ryan” in your lives. Portrait info: I used natural light from a French door camera left, then filled in the light with a Metz AF-2 flash. It has an innovative secondary flash head to provide a little direct flash when you bounce the primary head as I did here.
