Not every beautiful photograph needs a smile.
Yesterday’s little miss made me work hard for them 😂 Teething, feeling a little stubborn and absolutely not interested in performing for the camera… and honestly? I wouldn’t change a thing.
Because those serious little faces. The chunky cheeks. The stubborn pout. Those ridiculously long eyelashes. 🥹
They’re just as much a part of this stage as the big gummy smiles are.
And yes… eventually, after enough ridiculous noises, silly faces and me making a complete fool of myself behind the camera, we cracked her 😂 We got those gorgeous smiles too.
But some of my favourites from the whole session are actually the quieter ones. The little expressions that are completely her, exactly as she is right now.
It was such a lovely morning having this family in the studio, and an absolute privilege getting to capture this little chapter for them.
I already can’t wait to have them back again. 🤎
