Nothing could make him smile

Nothing could make him smile
His dad tried for about five minutes to get this boy to smile, but all of his attempts were futile.
Photographed at the Children's Holiday Party thrown by the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the American Red Cross. All the invited kids had experienced a house fire in 2014. Elves were seen wrapping gifts for a couple of weeks before the event. It was the most fun such party that I've photographed over the past three years. Note: All the photos from this event were taken with flash.

Everything about this is utterly charming, Michelle. You took a beautiful child with wonderful large eyes and gave his family a picture to treasure.

  What an impressive candid portrait, Michelle. He certainly is engaged and you've captured his serious side, intelligent beyond his years.

  What an adorable little guy! His expression is more charming and engaging than a smile would have been, and you've captured it beautifully! I love just the slight hint of colour in this almost monochrome treatment.

  Smiling or not, this is one terrific portrait of a very beautiful child. You captured his essence. Serious and curious! Wonderfully done.
