How to capture a real smile...

This is definitely the best age for Pierce in regards to his patience when I want to take his pictures... he is even starting to pose (I think he learned that from Shelby Jones).  However we are still working on the "gentle smile" pose... I have come up with a new remedy for capturing the real smile.

First I get him in the right spot... ask him to pose and I capture whatever he gives me.

Then I ask for him to make a "Sad Face".

Then an "Angry Face"

Then a "Happy Face"

Then a "Serious Face"

Then a "Silly Face"

Then a "Crazy Face"

Then a "Sweet Face"... gotcha...this is the smile we get more than others... with a little twinkle in the eye.
