Val's is all about windows .. you know dressing them up to look their best.
It's funny, during the day I don't even notice the store, but at night, the front windows come alive with color and chaos and beauty.
I think I love controlled clutter in my images. I can't stand it when everyone is looking at the camera, stiff as a board ... OK, yes, that is exactly what I make people do in a formal portrait, but it always makes me happy when the kids are laughing and the parents are just being themselves.
So back to Val's ... controlled chaos. I love it!
