Taking photos of other people&#8217;s kids is a different skill set than taking photos of your own, and while I do both often, I don&#8217;t do family photos with all of them usually.  As it turned out, this &#8220;serious face&#8221; photo was one of my favorites of our 5-minute stop on this bridge.
