Isn't it awful, that we as photographer's use these emotional moments to our advantage? I have a similiar pic of my son, and it's one of my favorites! I really do love this one. #1809860

Ok, that is too weird! Just last night as I was washing up the dinner dishes, I got to thinking that dessert must have been invented by a mom with picky eaters! haha If your kids don't eat their broccoli, mom gets the chocolate so it's a win-win situation. BRILLIANCE I say! haha Great capture! #1810626

I love this Jessica!! The 3's seem to be far more turbulent than the 2's!! I love how you exposed this. #1812237

Been there, done that! Adorable capture of one of those moments we need to photograph so we don't gloss over "the good ole days" when they're teenagers! #1812350

Thank you all for your wonderful comments! It's a good thing you couldn't hear the whining during this photo. :) #1813705

Great emotion capture! Superb framing and those b/w tones are great. This is my favorite in your gallery! #1817925

Nadia W. Smith September 09, 2005

My son loves chocolate too and I have seen this look when he can't have his chocolate. Sometimes I use the chocolate as a bribe to get some pictures...is that bad? LOL. I don't think he thinks so...LOL.

Great capture of this real expression of sadness and anger. #1819722

Jessica Hughes September 09, 2005

Thank you, Kirisi and Nadia!
Nadia, I find nothing wrong with using chocolate as a bribe! It works so well. :) #1819748

Kristy E. Lane September 09, 2005

This is perfection, Jessica. Your crop here makes this image just amazing in my eyes. And that little beauty...wow! #1820089

Thanks, Kristy. Everytime she sees this photo she says, "Oh, poor Alexa". Funny girl! #1822656
