It’s been said that holding a child is like knowing serenity and it is as close to Heaven any mortal will ever be. My niece Maya is as cute as they come and we just absolutely adore her to pieces. Last month she reached a milestone – six months – we couldn’t believe. Time can be patient but more often than not it passes us in a blink of an eye and we’re left to wonder, “where did it go?” We celebrated with family and friends out at my sister-in-law’s parents’ farm and there couldn’t be a better place to document such a special moment in life. Here’s a look at few of my favorites. I’m quite bias but she’s so damn cute, isn’t she?

Open Image Studio - Ahhhhh yes – the polka dots. Thanks for visiting. She’s a joy to have around and great photographic subject too.

Julie - She is beautiful, Monty! I particularly love the polka dotted dress (not surprising, I realize).

Pitt - Thanks bro for taking time to get such great shots. You do great work…
