Same subjects as first photo, but this time we were able to get the toddler close to mom for about a nanosecond. I said something that struck the boy as funny, and his giggle made mom giggle.
Very natural with great lighting which gives the eyes tremendous spark - something you can really work with in a final print. I don't mind that junior is a bit "hidden". It helps the natural appeal of the shot. Position of the boy's hand under the chin is also very strong compositionally. Great!
