This wonderfully moving image of this serious little man came from a family photo shoot I did in Hermann Park, Houston, Texas in 2014. This little guy interacted with me the entire time and was a happy little guy, but every time I tried to take a shot of him he absolutely would not smile. Even without a smile, you can see straight into his soul through those piercing eyes.

I shot this with a Nikon D5100 with a 55-200mm lens
f/5
