Congratulations to 3 year old Christian Haupt and his family. A photo of Christian throwing out the first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodger's game was voted as one of the top photos of the year by both ESPN and Atlantic magazine. We were given the opportunity to print this timeless photo of Christian as a canvas print for the family. We couldn't agree more that this is one of the best images of last year. The photo was taken by AP photographer Mark J. Terrill and he should get all of the credit for grabbing this image...but the personality of the little big leageur is 100% Christian.
Here are the links to the two news sources that picked this image as one of the top photos of 2012:
The Atlantic Magazine: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/12/2012-the-year-in-photos-part-3-of-3/100420/

And here is the fantastic photo:
When taking full length portraits the camera should be on the same level as your subjects belly button. This will give the subject the correct proportion. If you photograph from too high it will shorten the legs and lengthen the torso. If you photograph from too low it will shrink their torso and lengthen the legs.
