My granddaughter a couple of years ago. I had baked some fresh banana bread for her and told her if she would smell the rose for me she could have some. She agreed but her beautiful blue eyes cut to the kitchen and the banana bread! One of my all time favorite pictures of her!

Location
I took this photo of my granddaughter in my apartment with her standing by the window. She loves my homemade banana bread and I had just baked some for her. I told her if she would quickly smell the rose for me she could have her banana bread! Her big, beautiful blue eyes are turned towards the kitchen where her treat awaits! As a side note, her dad ( my son) is a firefighter and teaches special ropes classes to other firefighters; he braided her hair.??Time
Time of day was late morning, almost mid-day.Lighting
Natural window light only, my favorite.Equipment
Handheld Fuji XT2 with a 2.8 f stop lens but can’t remember which one now!Inspiration
What can I say? She is the sunshine in my life and I take a photo of her anytime I have the chance!Editing
I brightened her face, added a texture to the background to darken it and remove any distractions.In my camera bag
I usually carry two camera bodies and two lens, one 70-200mm equivalent for mirrorless Fuji, and the other a 28-70mm. Also a 180/3.5 macro if needed, and a flash.Feedback
When I photograph children I don’t try to pose them to much, I just let them be and occasionally call their name to get attention. If parents are insistent on trying to get little ones to smile I ask them to stand directly behind me. Mostly I just like candid, relaxed, easy shots.
