We really had all the makings of a perfect afternoon photo session, and little Mateo did not disappoint.  I absolutely love it when kids ham it up for my camera, and I quickly realized that Mateo should probably be a child model 😉  All of us had a wonderful time playing in the leaves and taking photos, and time just flew by.  Soon it was time for Mateo to put on his Halloween costume to go trick or treating with his parents, and I’m so lucky I was able to photograph the cutest little lion in New York City!
