Expressive Faces of 2023 with an Austin Family Photographer

Joy, sadness, confusion, anger, surprise . . .  our faces can express so many different emotions!  Expressions play a very important role in human communication, allowing us to convey a rich array of emotions without uttering a single word!  As an Austin children’s photographer, the primary expression I seek to photograph is joy.  What parent does not want to remember their child’s smile, their happiness? The sweet and subtle smiles, the great, laughing, teeth showing grins, and everything in between, those are the primary expressions most parents hope for!  I hope you find some enjoyment in this compilation of portraits of babies and kids with happy, expressive faces!

I love this photograph of a young boy, mid-laugh, eyes squeezed shut from the overwhelming need to giggle! I was probably talking about farts. ;)

This blue-eyed blonde toddler with the slight smile, arms reaching up towards me, was probably anticipating having a look at the back of my camera to see the portraits I had taken of her.

Take a look at the laughing smile on this ten-year-old boy’s face and have a guess what our topic of conversation was.

Is there anyone in the world happier than an exuberant one-year-old? Toddlers feel the utmost extremes of all emotions, LOL!
