In my new photography book I got for Christmas, I have been learning  about catching "genuine" smiles.  These are smiles that are natural, not  posed..."cheese."  These are hard to catch because you always have to  be ready and pretty much chase your subject around until the perfect  opportunity arrives.  But it really pays off.  These images of Rhylan  with her natural smile, caught at the peek of her joy are so much more  expressive, so much more beautiful, and show so much more Rhylan, that  they are priceless to me.  Yes the posed ones are cute but the genuine  smiles really catch my eye.  
One of my New Years goals... capture more genuine smiles. I tried this again at the park on New Years eve ... post coming soon!--stay tuned
She  is a superhero that always saves the day!!  I made her this cape for  Christmas and we have been safe ever since.  And she has chosen the name  "Smile'n Rhylan."
These next two are posed... but funny.


Posed--Cute but not dazzling.

Not posed-- any question if she is having fun "flying" as fast as she can... so fast I couldn't even get in focus:)

Posed

Not posed... see beautiful!!  I had to scream and act like she was going to get me for this smile!

Not posed-- she just looks so happy, a moment I want to remember.
