This was taken last Thursday evening. No reflectors, just the beautiful golden evening light.

I really enjoyed photographing this young man. He was very quiet and shy and would rather have been back inside playing video games than having family portraits taken (can't say that I blame him...I, also, don't enjoy having my picture taken).

I think he would've looked away from the camera for the whole session if I'd let him. Prior to this shot, he was looking down. I asked him to look up and this is what I got. I like how this captures a bit of his shyness and boyish smile.
