The turtles are out in full force around here in Nagano and my kids love them. Whenever I walk by it’s an automatic "Turtle Alert" because the kids just go bonkers. It’s funny.

That Girl happens to be my 4 year old daughter Aily Jacklyn going on 5 in June. Over the last couple of years when she tagged along on my photoshoots she would usually be lagging behind trying to catch up. Gee, I wonder who is slow now. Packed with a new Scooter and taking the stance to show she’s running out of patience, she yells "Bump the Sutterspeed and let’s go!", Juuuust one more shot I always reply.

This shot was taken near the footsteps of Zenkoji Temple in Nagano Japan…her playground.
