This article is an excerpt from "Chapter 7: Evoking Expression and Emotion" of her book "Photographing Children" available from Wiley Publishing:


As you look through photographs, whether they are your own family photographs, a friend’s collection, or even magazine images, you intuitively flip through them at a certain pace. Every so often you might come across one that stops you, slows you down, and invites you to explore or engage more deeply. It might make you smile, think for a minute, or take you back to a place in time. What a wonderful exercise this is to encourage your own observation skills and to see what pulls you in. The chances are very good that the photograph that stops you or slows you down contains something profound or alluring in the expression, mood, and emotion.
