Photography is a great way to not only capture the moment but to also capture exactly what was going on in the background to really tell a story. Every photo won’t be like that but if you are taking a photo of your child’s expression, try to capture exactly what it was that caused the reaction. It makes for a more compelling photo.

On this particular day, Lil Mama was really having a hard time listening. It was a Sunday, and it was  before her bedtime. Although it wasn’t time to eat, I decided to let her eat her dinner early so she could go to bed.

I captured the whole kitchen along with the sun shining through the window to make the point that she seemed so #unbothered to be eating dinner alone, knowing she was headed to bed a little early. I could’ve just captured her expression but I don’t feel like I would remember the story as to why she was eating alone with a dusk glow from the window.

Tip: Before you snap a photo, look around to see if there are other objects that can help tell the story
