Selene Anderson

Adorable moment! The New Beginnings theme is ALL over this image! Can't you picture this being in a wedding slideshow someday, evidence of the day their friendship began?! I love how Selene off centered the two babies and left lots of empty beach in the frame with just a hint of waves. It helps the babies feel that much smaller. The closer we get to our subjects, the more "larger than life" they can feel. So the choice of framing on this was perfect! And I love how they both have bare bottoms! So darling! Great job Selene! A keepsake photo for sure!
