This is Anav, he’s 8 months old and was a great burst of energy the other day.

I say burst of energy because it took me a while to work Anav out. He required full eye contact and something silly to get him laughing away and when I ducked behind the camera the contact was lost and he returned to a more neutral expression.

I find working with little ones fascinating as they are all completely unique and it’s a great challenge to work out what gets them smiling. As you can see from the photos, we got there in the end and got some really cheeky little expressions.
