Sunday, I watched Xander for the day while his parents went to work. Mason came with me and we had a pretty good day. I brought my camera to take a few shots, play with my flash, give me something to do while I watched these guys play.
Now Mason was not quite keen on sharing his toys that he brought with him, especially when he realized Xander's way of playing with them was putting them in his mouth. Mason also didn't quite grasp why Xander kept "attacking" him. "Mason, he's a baby...he's using you to pull up so his can get around...he's not attacking you." Can you tell he's an only child?

My favorite part of photography is capturing those expressions that are genuine, the ones that aren't quite planned for the photograph. In Xander's case, this was his dubious visage of whether he was going to like Mason and me. And whether this camera in his face was going to be tolerated or not.
Now it didn't take long for this little guy to start giving away his smiles. He did make me work for a few at first.
But these are just proof that a smile isn't always needed to get a great photo. But smiles are always good when you do get them!
