Eduardo,

Two wonderful series. In the first, every photo is a tender moment by  
itself. This time will be remembered and cherished for many years to  
come. Shooting both series in b&w is perfect.

Valentina is a true trooper. Such a sweet child. You captured her  
smile at the perfect time.

Just wonderful,
Len
