bubblicious! | morris child photographer

Aren’t bubbles tasty?! They must be, because this kiddo thought it was the funniest thing EVER to attempt blowing bubbles by putting the wand right on (or IN) his mouth!  This expression just makes me smile, so I thought I’d share it with you…  A big thank-you to this kiddo and his family for driving...
