Whose running this show?

I loved this session for all the behind the scene's action. Meet Miss "R". She is the daughter of my families hair stylist, Mama "J". We've known "J" since my mom was pregnant with me, many years. Needless to say, I've watched "R" grow up and what beauty she has become.

Mama "J" calls me and asks if I can get a picture of her daughter in her Dorthy costume with their Scottie dog. She explains that she wants an image just like the one she has of her daughter and Scottie from 7 years ago. It was a darling portrait of a sweet little girl and her puppy. Well, this little girl has grown up and has quite a few opinions herself. I show-up ready to take a traditional portrait and "R" explains she wants to go outside on the railroad tracks. And, as any 16 year old, she wants to look pretty not cute. So.....

This is what we got for Mom:



This is meeting in the middle:




She is such a young beauty, I had to get some headshots.....

Thanks R and J!
