I’m so in love with this gerber-perfect child and the awesome parents responsible for such cuteness. The last time I photographed her she was still a baby, but now at 17 months old, she was charging around and checking everything out with those big blue eyes that are just as insanely gorgeous as I remembered them. I have to admit that I was stressing out while driving up to Golden Gate Park in the rain, but by the time the family arrived the day had miraculously transformed into a beautiful fall morning. I’m glad we chose to start up at Stow Lake as I could tell she was impressed with the surrounding wildlife by the enthusiasm in her refrain, “duck! duck!” After the lake we moved down to the botanic gardens, and much later I finally forced myself to put the camera down.
