But guess what, the one the parents chose wasn't the one I posted. They liked the shot that was much more posed, and much more smiling. . . and in my biased opinion, with a whole lot less personality showing. This has happened many times before and it does get frustrating, which is why I admire the high street photographers. They have patience that I lack. Simon Stevens P.S.
