Photo of the day: future slugger

future slugger, a photo by The Bacher Family on Flickr.

At the family 4th of July gathering, Matthew was in his element -- lots of colorful and interesting things going on, and he could be right in the middle of them! As we were setting off some "daylight" fireworks in the evening, the lighting for photographs was perfect -- even in a photo like this one, where the light was mostly behind the subject, it looked great as it cast highlights in the hair and created nice lights in the eyes. I snapped several photos in quick succession, as you have to do when photographing kids; this one is my favorite (though this one is close behind!).
