Last week I had the privilege of doing a family photoshoot with Andrew and his extended family along with his fiancé. Andrew’s daughter made the shoot a good learning experience for me and my biggest take-away was to always bring my wife along 
. Heidi helped to convince Kyilei (the daughter) how it’s cool not to frown or look away from the red bearded man (that’s me for all those I haven’t met).
Hoping to get some genuine emotion, I decided to train my lens on Kyilei as she wore herself out eluding me. At first the results were less personal (I found them hilarious)…
…but after sticking with it, I captured some great interaction between Andrew and his daughter.
Now insert Ashley…
… and at long last, everybody is in the mood to smile.
