The Plastic Smile

I had to laugh…. I was taking some family photos for friends when their son informed me that he was doing his best “plastic smile” – too funny.?? For me the hardest thing about photographing little kids is that they have been programed all their life by their parents (me included) to “smile nice” – “chin up” – “open your eyes” – “say cheese” – and what we end up with are photos of our kids with these forced “plastic” smiles.? So when it was Sebastian’s turn for a photo by himself I told him to give me his best silly face….. look at the progression…..

I think the last image is finally a real smile from this cute little guy!? Great job Sebastian!

I’m all familiar with the plastic smile. It’s the smile I get for photos from my five-year-old son 90% of the time. :-)
