Getting children to pose without really posing them...

WOW!  Two posts in a row!!!  Making up for lost time, I guess.  I've been told that photographing children is one of the most difficult photography assignments one can possibly take on.  I'm up for the challenge anytime! :-)  The trick is to get the child to be comfortable with you (a stranger) first, and then to take their photos without making them aware that you are doing it.  Here are a few from my little session with a wonderfully bubbly and sweet little girl.
