I’ve been a photographer enough to know that every parent loves pictures of their child looking directly into the camera and smiling.  And I’m among that crowd too…I want to see my kids looking happy.  I want to see them smiling.  And I want to see their eyes.

But, there’s more to a child than laughing and smiling.  If you’re a parent, you most certainly agree.  There’s a million expressions that you love equally as much…plus all the details…like their chubby fingers, curls at the nape of their neck and who doesn’t love a baby’s long eyelashes!?

I’ve been trying to capture a bit more than smiles in my photo sessions.  I want to be an observer.  I want to notice all the things you love about your child and document them in an artful way.  So, Kai here is a perfect example of a happy, smiley little guy…

But he also has the cutest smirk!

And those eyelashes!

And just about every expression in between…

Happy Monday!
