Typically parents want a photo of their child smiling. As we all know, though, sometimes children go through a stage of being more serious, solemn and somber. This past week I photographed a family with a little girl of two who simply stared at me and my camera, as if she were daring me to take her picture. After getting some traditional photos, I told her brother to "tickle Daddy" and finally we got a smile...this was one of my favorites from their portrait session.
