Will

Taking pictures of young children is something that is very fun but can also be a bit challenging. When they are under 3 years old, they typically don't truly understand what is going on with the pictures and getting them to do what you want them to do is tough. That is why I like to go the opposite route. I try to set up a few things that I think will make good pictures, but ultimately it comes down to following them around and hoping that they are having a good time. When everything works out, you can get some very spontaneous pictures with great smiles - quite often you even get things that you never could have set out to do or even thought up.

Case in point here is Mr. Will. Who knew that a one year old liked to read so much?

And by the same token, there is no way I could have asked him for a smile like this. He does a great job as long as I am ready to capture what he is ready to give.
