Another stunningly beautiful portrait, Melissa. Love the composition and relaxed, simple pose. The look in her eyes (which are beautiful BTW) says to me that she is completely comfortable in your creative hands ... she trusts you. Sounds (and looks) to me as if you've started a beautiful, new family tradition for Thanksgiving.

beautiful portrait. wonderful light once again, though i think i liked yesterday's a bit better. really like the processing and how the fabric of the shirt came out.

@danthro: I desaturated this one a bit. I agree about yesterday's portrait; it's one of my favorites...there's just something special about that one.
Thank you, danthro.

You are, indeed, fortunate not just in having a ready supply of photogenic models but, also, in gaining their confidence to pose. This is lovely work.
