Magic in the lens of five-year-old Cyndil Upton.

Folks behave differently when intereacting with kids. We saw  this first hand at our most recent farm dinner at Turnbull Creek Farm. Amanda and Heath Upton attended the July 2018 Farm Dinner, and brought along five-year-old daughter Cyndil. After looking at the tomatoes and zinnias, Amanda let Cyndil loose with her iPhone. The reult; lightening in a bottle. Enjoy. Amanda owns Atelier Upton: Organic Concept Salon, and is an awesome stylist.
