Day 14


This is Liam. He's the little guy around here, and he's pretty elusive sometimes when it comes to pictures. He likes to suck his thumb, so I have a hard time getting good shots of him without his thumb in his mouth. Today we wandered into the path of a sunlit window and I managed to get a shot. He even gave me a little grin.

Things I've learned: The use of reflecting light can be very flattering with portraits. I took some other shots as well of my daughter, and asked her to hold a white piece of paper under her face, and it reflected the sunlight and eliminated some shadows from her eyes that would have been there due to the strong light of the sun.
