Candid Portrait

When we think of a portrait, we normally think of picture that is static by nature.  Posed, and choreographed from start to finish.

Here is a portrait I took of a mom and her son.  This image was captured without the mom being aware of my intentions.


I feel that the genuine emotion and love she has for her son shines through.  Getting the same emotion from a completely posed portrait would be very difficult to capture.
Next time you are taking pictures, look for that special moment in between what's expected.  Quite often that is where the magic lies!
