Sleeping Handsome

Just not fair for a boy to get eyelashes like this

Kiss kiss sweet baby

No rubber bands applied

I love my camera

Sleeping Handsome by Laurie Melissa Photography.

Photo taken with a Nikon D80 50mm lense. I shot this as is, no editing or conversion here. I used the camera preset B&W to shoot. I love how the 50mm provides the opportunity to get the blur. It looks finished and I didn't have to do anything but upload.
I actually shot this while watching the Presidential Election Results unfold. Glad he could sleep, not me!

Such a little pumpkin, I couldn't resist taking this photo opp. All the lights were off, just a few candles lit in the kitchen and we were watching the results of todays presidential election unfold. It was a truly precious moment.
