You Capture: People

Lettie

People pictures are my favorite sort of photos.

Typical posed portraits, probably my least.

But, dirty faces, pine needle treasures and real expressions. Perfect.

Kylie

Every once in awhile I find someone who is cooperative and looks at me and smiles and looks beautiful  . . .  and not posed into some plastic or frozen representation of themselves. Like my niece Keilana:

Kielana

 But that wouldn't be my children. Mostly they just run away.

Occasionally they'll glance my way for a moment if I yell at them.

Lex

 Or I see them laughing at someone else.

Azia

But mostly they run away.

Eleven-year-olds are sometimes extremely camera shy, too. 

Daij

This means my focus may be a bit soft since some days I get not-quite-even-one shot to get some sort of image that makes it appear like he was on board with my snapping even this one image.

Luckily I have all sorts of cousins to work with.

Bryce

 About 1/4 of the gang of cousins who all went on the Christmas tree expedition this weekend are represented here. Sometime I'll have to try to get a picture of all of them in one outing!
