In case you haven't noticed, I don't post a lot of portraiture. (Say that three times real fast.)
I never really thought it was 'my thing', preferring stationary objects like mushrooms and flowers.
This is a photo that I took over the summer at a graduation party held for my niece, Kim. (The original post on the Chronicles blog is here.) For Christmas, I gave my niece a photobook I'd made on Shutterfly.com. In it were all the photos I'd taken at her party. And this turned out to be one of my favorites.

It is beautiful! I feel the same way about portraits, preferring nature photography instead!
I am sure that this was her favorite gift ever! Beautiful job, Kate!
Wow - what another wonderful captured moment. I made some photo gifts for christmas also and everyone loves these because they can be passed on in the family forever.
Thanks, all. Yes, MindyLew, I love the idea of photos as gifts that can be passed on in the family!

Hi Kate....Happy New Year!! Your portrait photography is as excellent as everything else you do...
Wow, I love people photography, and this warm black & white with the soft focus effect is excellent! Hope to see much more of these in your blog this year!
Yep, I'm a nature girl, too. No one in my family will allow me to take their pic...
This is a wonderful shot, Kate. Such beautiful light and tones! And I bet she will treasure it for years to come.
Beautiful. What a wonderful gift.
I'm such a sucker for black and white photos! That is lovely.
Beautiful photo!!
You need to start taking more portraits...this is beautiful!

I second what Angie said! You might not do a lot of portraiture, but you sure did a great job on this!
The lighting creates a nice soft effect. And I love the B&W.
