On a trip to California Wine Country we stopped at one of our favorite Pinot Noir producers and had a wine tasting. The kids romped around the vineyard and played near a pond complete with a big bullfrog. As my wife and I were enjoying our tasting I looked over to the window of the tasting room and saw my kids peering in. In a flash my daughter signed I Love You and then she was gone but not before I was able to snap a quick shot.
This is one of my favorite shots for so many reasons. As an aspiring photographer there is great joy that comes with capturing a fleeting, beautiful moment on film. Mainly, though, I love this shot because I’m a Dad and my daughter just said she loves me.

Awww… this is like the sweetest shot. Somehow.. dads and daughters are always closer
Thanks Anny–tumultuously close! =]
Wonderful capture – both of your children look like models!
Thanks Kala! Nice of you to say. They’re great kids.
Well done! A wonderful shot, and the warmth added to the monochrome conversion really suits it.
Thanks Tim!
Right before this shot, she said, “You mess with the bull, and you get the horns.”
LOL! [Sigh] I miss Hughes.
Fantastic shot. I really feel like you captured a special moment. Great composition.
Thanks Daniel–definitely one of my favorite moments captured on film.
What a marvel, a gift, true silent sharing – beautiful, and bravo for the quick yet very good shot, and both your kids are wonderfully cute – an image to cherrish ! (our AM3 does not work today, no pb, i didn’t post a new one
It lets me more time to browse here & there, my pleasure to stop by your 2 cuties. Thanks for the sweetness.
Thanks so much k@! Of all of the photographs I’ve posted this may be my favorite for obvious reasons. It may not be technically as refined as other shots but it warms my heart like no other. My daughter loves her mother very much but it seems sometimes she just tolerates me. This picture helps me remember she actually loves me too. Cheers!
