Thanksgiving Day Kiss

Posted by :: Aaron W. Strasburg (Riverside, United States) on 25 January 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This is my daughter giving our good friends son a kiss on the cheek. They have grown up together, but this is the first time I had to clean my shotgun in front of him :)

@Faon: Ya, he was very shy...whenever we bring up this moment he denies it like crazy, we have to pull out the shot to convince him he let a girl kiss his check :)

He's still young enough to be repulsed, just too mannerly to show it! :)
