Very nice shots Andy. She is a very pretty girl. Time for you to start fighting the boys off.

They grow quickly :D

My niece turned 18 last year and her brother, 15. I remember holding them
both as babies--like it was yesterday.

She's a beautiful young lady.

and I like the time line.

And your younger pictures look a little like Larry Hagman when he was doing I Dream of Jeanie.

beautiful shots andy and I love the shots of her growing up and you gettin old :rofl how many children do you have??? 5?

[Thiago Sigrist]

Man, I think you've nailed the lighting here... Great control of the highlights and stuff, especially on critical areas like the nose and such. The sharpness is outstanding too. When I look at this photo, I see the combination of sharp lens, great camera body, lights and photographer working at its best.

Not only the technical stuff is awesome, but I think Anna looks quite relaxed. You definitely put her at ease, and one can see she really admires you.

Heh... I think it's the best picture of her I've seen from you, Andy! So congrats on the pics and especially the lovely daughter.

By the way: she has grown very fast indeed! I can only imagine your (sweet) hardship as a father!

Take care!

Andy,
These just blow me away! I just finished posting on another thread how I believe in retouching. Not here! With your lighting no retouching is needed. Of course she is beautiful and has a young fresh face. This is a beautiful natural portrait. You must be very proud. Don't blink, the wedding is just around the corner. :wink
Congratulations on a beautiful daughter and a great photo. :thumb
