Captured on a crisp November day in 2025 at Thistlewyck, Filoli, this portrait encapsulates the joyful curiosity of childhood. A young boy, bundled in a cozy jacket and jeans, reaches upward, holding onto a steady companion. The lush outdoor setting, with its rich textures of grass and soil, provides a perfect backdrop for exploration and play. As strands of golden hair catch the light, this scene beautifully highlights the innocence and wonder of a child discovering the world around him, hand in hand with a guiding presence.
