If there’s one thing that photography has taught me, it’s patience. Sometimes you have to wait a long time to get that shot. These are two friends of mine that were visiting from New Jersey with their new baby boy. I thought why not make a shoot out of it. When trying to get everyone in the shot smiling, focus on the one that may have more difficulty staying engaged. In this case, I had my friends hold the smile while I worked on getting little man’s attention. Otherwise, you all are trying to get him to smile, and when he does, he’s the only one looking at the camera. You have to be quick with little people and animals. As you can see, it worked out alright.
