'Smile"
"Smile!"
One of my goals this year is to make sure that I get at least one photo of each of the girls every month. This is easy with Erin because she is a willing model. Brooke, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. When it comes to photographing her, I just have to go for it knowing that it has the potential to be an unpleasant experience for all involved.
There are several things about my goal of a photo a month of her and this image in particular that are quite predictable.
- It will be in the last few days of the month when I get her photograph.
- She will always have this "whatever" expression.
- She will never look directly at me .
- She will never smile.
- In the evening she is almost always sitting in front of her computer at the kitchen island.
- There is usually some book(s) and a bowl of something, or some previous something, nearby.
- She is always wearing black and white so the pictures of her are likely to always be black and white.
- I am going to accomplish my goal whether she likes it or not.
