The {M} Family

What a great weekend to have so many outdoor shoots- who would have thought my November shoots would be much warmer than October? I loved getting to meet this family- and of course photographing elementary school-aged kids sure can be easier than toddlers! :) It was a nice change of pace for me. Thanks {M} Family- here is your sneak peek...

This photo gives away a secret. You've all been there... you pull out your camera and tell you child "say cheese"! Of course, they say "cheese", but with the oh-so-lovely fake smile on their face. My trick? I tell the child to show me the saddest face they can make... here is this little boy's sweet sad face...

Then I pretend to cry- put on a big dramatic show... and voila! Here comes the REAL smile!
