Happy Birthday!

Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 19 February 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

The lyrics above say it all! This is a photo of Julia, the most precious baby girl of our two neighbours, Peter and Lucie. It's her first birthday today, and mine too as an Aminus3 member, with my first post being exactly one year ago today! Small, small world.
This is my first real attempt at portrait photography, and it has made me realise just how much I have to learn! My sincere thanks to Peter and Lucie (and, of course, Julia) for the opportunity. We'll see if I've learnt anything when the two of us turn two next year!
The photo was taken on Tuesday evening. Happy Birthday Julia - may your year ahead be filled with the joy, love, and happiness reflected on your face today!

Title and lyrics, of course, from The Beatles

All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.
