Look at this gorgeous little girl I got to photograph during one of my mini-sessions.  She has an incredible smile, complete with a little dimple.  Mini-sessions have pros and they have cons.  The biggest pro is that they are just the right amount of time for most kids.  After about 15-20 minutes, most of the time, the kids are done with the whole humor the photographer by laughing at her jokes and doing what she tells me to do.  So a full session sometimes ends a little messy.  But for other kids, mini-sessions are tough because it’s just 15 minutes, and sometimes they take a bit longer than that to warm up.  So for some kids who are a bit on the shy side, I might catch a few smiles near the end of the session. . . after they figure out that I’m okay 🙂  

Hence the no smile family picture from Morgan. . .

And her happy parents, who smiled at me right from the beginning 🙂
