You can't tell a child when to smile, no matter their age. You can say the words 'smile please' and mean them, but if the child (of ANY age) doesn't want to smile, well, they won't!! But when that same wee person decides they are enjoying the whole lot of attention, and they want to smile, well then it just bursts forth like a well or a fountain.
The smile on these young subjects became contagious as the night went on, and they realised that they were enjoying themselves and having fun!! These are portraits of a family of sisters with their 'baby' cousin, and boy did they look after each other that night.
A family is a wonderful thing. A God given institution of visible love, protection, happiness and unity. Just like my young subjects that night. I was allowed to be a part of their family fun, and in return, I think you will agree, the images portray that whole protective and happy family feeling. We owe it to ourselves to enjoy our children while they are young, and if like me, you get the chance to be allowed into their private world, take it! There is no safer, more wonderful place.
