GQ Kids

There's nothing more adorable than little boys in a suit and tie!   A few years ago, I was assigned to create a series of photos based on a common theme for a photography class.  I decided to do it on children.  Although it may have been overly simplistic, I thought, "I love photography and I love kids - what a perfect combination for me!"

While in class, the students were amazed and asked me how I got the children to wear suits.   While dressing up is reserved for special occasions for most people, in my world, finding little children dressed up and little boys in suits and ties is not uncommon at all.   

In this photo, I love how you can see Elijah's affection for his little brother while connecting with the camera at the same time.  

All of Manny's photos had a sense of innocence and wonderment in his facial expressions, this one above, no less than the others.
The combination of the pin-stripe pattern and the peak lapels contribute to the vintage, "bygone-era 
feel to this photo.  His facial expression and hand position are perfection!
