Jack

I love taking portraits. I love looking at faces and studying them. Jack, here, was attending my niece's 3rd birthday party. He was being very shy (hiding behind his father) for most of the time I was there. The party was at a park and a bunch of the kids went over to the swingset and sliding board. Jack crawled under the slide and was hiding. I bent over to grab a quick snapshot and got this great spontaneous image. He's got a great smile and those blue eyes! Just one of those images that pops out at you. I probably couldn't have gotten as good of an image if I tried to pose him and get him to smile on cue. It was all so natural. It will be interesting to see him grow up to see if he remains this shy.
