So many times during a session the parents are trying to get their kids to smile. That is great and I love smiles! But often images with no smile or even no eye contact make for a beautiful picture. Look at these beautiful girls from a recent session! They never got posted for a sneak peak so I thought this would make a great post!
I often get portraits of my own kids not smiling. Sometimes I even get their tears. Here are a few of them.
Ashley, congrats on your new blog! It’s beautiful, and so is all the work you have posted in this entry!
