So I've found a little side niche of children portraits, mainly through families at my church and it's so much fun. Levi is one of the most independent, energetic toddlers I have ever seen. We took these at Garfield Park about a month ago :)
Still slightly delirious from the activities of last night, I went over to the Obama Headquarters in Eastown to see if there were any feature photos to be made. People were actually quite bitter-sweet about their campaigning coming to an end. Although Obama won the election...which was the goal...many of these volunteers don't know what to do with themselves now. Anyhow, the light was pretty so I had fun :)
This was by far one of the most powerful assignments I've ever covered. A second photographer and I shot a democratic watch party tonight in the city and I was not prepared for the wave of emotion these people would display, and I in turn, would feel. A historic night I won't soon forget.
