Raquel and Julio

Raquel and Julio were so fun. I actually headed down to American Falls to shoot this set of pics.   Raquel is actually a cousin of mine.  It makes me sad that she is all grown up.  I had to take breaks from editing her pictures with Julio simply because I adore her.  Raquel has been through so much and it mainly happened in her first couple of years of life.  She had a tumor in her eye and ended up loosing her eye.  Even though she doesn't remember a whole lot because she was so little she adapted so well.  But glass eyes are not the easiest thing to work with.  If it is windy they dry out, sometimes they won't allow her eyelids to so what they are supposed to.  Now Julio has never had his picture taken professionally but by the end of the shoot he was eating the attention up!
