I’m a sucker for my girls and sometimes a random photo catches my eye and I fall in love with one of them all over again. Then I think wow how would that look in black and white so I try it out and I love it but I love the color version too…. How do I choose? I don’t, I share them both because I love each one equally!
- I love the black and white for the simplicity of the moment and the pop it gives to the light in the background.
- I love the color for it’s vintage richness.
