You Can't Make Me Smile

© Audrea Telkamp

You Can

Uploaded: December 30, 2004

Description

My youngest Elijah while trying to get a picture of him for our Christmas card. My son Andrew was doing his best to coax a smile out of him and this is the fruit of his labor!! Taken with "studio" lights. Background color obtained from darker color in Elijah's lips.

Coming from one who does not do well with portraits, still lifes are more my thing, I really like this shot. It gives me some inspiration to keep trying to get my little one to smile! Great shot... #1654269
