THIS NEW GALLERY CONTAINS PHOTOS WHERE MOST OF THE PORTRAITS WERE UN-POSED.  THEY ARE MERELY GRAB SHOTS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN FRONT OF ME AND MY CAMERA.  THE KIDS POSE THEMSELVES WITH LITTLE HELP FROM ME AND ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CAPTURE THE MOMENT.  (I DISCOVER PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES USING A KIND OF A HORSE SENSE, IF YOU PARDON THE PUN).  MOST OF THE TIME, THE KIDS ARE AWARE THAT I AM ABOUT TO TAKE THEIR PICTURE AND SINCE THEY KNOW ME, I AM ABLE TO CATCH THEIR MOODS AND SMILES.  THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE YOUR PORTRAITURE, ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS, IS TO BE FRIENDLY AND TO TALK TO THEM, NOT AT THEM.
