 My Madison,

Oh how you've grown. I have taken a million pictures of you, my sweet love, but this one hits my soul to the core. It is as if I can see your spirit dancing around you in the forms of those little hearts. I am so thankful that God decided to bless me with such a gift. When I tuck you in every night while you are sleeping I touch your sweet little face and know that I was meant to be your father. Words cannot describe the depth of my love for you. I am proud of the girl you have become and I am sorry if I do not tell you that enough. You are magnificent and I am lucky to be your daddy. I love you monkey... with every single ounce of my heart and soul.

Love You,
Daddy

The shaped bokeh works perfectly for this, and I love the expression on her face. Great portrait. I'm iffy on the color toning you chose, but that is a personal preference thing and not a flaw of any kind. Giving this one a nice high vote and a fave.

Processing gives this a fantasy/dreamy quality. I like going with the purple/bluish tones. Great smile on the model, looks like she is enjoying herself. I'm guessing you're using a lensbaby with the heart aperture ring; I like it's use to focus the attention to the face of the model. Very playful with the hearts.

Not into the blue / purple cast. Otherwise a very nice shot. Might want to try it off center.
