Glaeser Family Photographs in Golden Gate Park

I have met a lot of cute, rambunctious, fun-loving children in the past year of photographing families. But I have never met anyone as smart and eloquent as little Ilaria. I literally sat dumbfounded as this 2 and a half year old told me out the different flowers in AIDS Memorial Garden where we were, how helicopters help her dad (he is a fire fighter) and all sorts of other things. And when she wasn’t speaking in full and complete sentences, she explored and ran throughout the garden and brought back little “treasures” for us in the form of rocks, sticks and flowers. It was such a delight to see (even if I did have to run quite a bit to get the shots).

Teresa and Nate – thanks so much for this opportunity. I had such a great time and when Ilaria needs a photographer when she wins the Nobel Prize, please give me a call.
