Smell the Cork

This is another photo from the session I did for my brother-in-laws family. Evan loves to play with the wine corks and papa taught him how to smell the corks. There was a stray cork sitting on the counter and Evan went for it, and made it into his newest toy! I love the look of curiosity that he has on his face as well
