Mother

This is a portrait of my mother and myself on New Years day, at my aunt's house. She wanted a picture of us together. I thought it'd be cute to take it in front of a mirror, once I spotted it on the living room. I told her to look at the reflection of the lens of the camera so we didn't look strange. It didn't work. She became preoccupied with how we looked on the live view display on the back of the camera. I told her to not do it in the following shots, but this one still ended up being my favorite of 5.

She said also in the middle of shooting it: "you twitch your mouth just like your father."
