Dear Riley:
I'm sorry my camera was so scary and that I invaded your home space way too early on a Saturday morning. I'm sorry for the delicious treats I gave you and making you hang out with your favorite people for 2 hours. I get it. New things can be scary. Or were you just playing coy? Your mother warned me about you...
Either way, I'm glad you persevered and allowed me in to make these photographs of you for your favorite people. Next time I see your beautiful face, I'll do my best to keep that camera in its case.
Yours, Hannele
