eliana for the gap

So Gap is having a contest to find their next top model. I’m not sure if it’ll be a reality show drama with fights over bottles, swaddling blankets, beanies, bugaboos, and the hippiest onesies.  Of all the children I’ve met it’s so difficult to think of just one that depicts the “perfect” baby. Each one of them has that sweet innocence which never fears how the camera will portray them.  They posses that determined spirit which sometimes gets hidden once they evolve.

One of my dearest friends of 20 years, Paola, has an amazing little Girl, Eliana. I cannot express how amazing she is and how she gravitates towards my lens (no matter if it’s a huge scary one or a tiny lil prime).  I feel like i don’t even have to try when i take her picture.  Paola was looking for a picture to enter into the Gap contest. I think the bottom one works. What do you think?
