This Just Isn't Like Her!!!

The coolest thing about shooting families is that with some of them...you truly bond with them.

When I flew out to take these pictures of the family I was picked up by Mom and this cutie pie!


She was a quiet little thing so I didn't even know she was in the car until she giggled. Then I looked back and fell in love with this bundle of smiles and energy!!! She wrapped me around her little finger...and fast!

I told her Mom..."Well she will be an easy subject!!!"



At the first of the Photo Session she was exactly how I predicted. Smiles, energy and fun!!! In this pic she is trying to copy what her sister was doing...it was so cute.

Sometime between this picture...and the picture BELOW...my little subject got to crying and being sad.

Her Mom kept saying, "This isn't like her!"

I could verify from earlier that afternoon, this really wasn't like her! But she couldn't communicate to us what the problem was.



During the photo shoot...as long as her favorite song was on she was half smiling and half giggling. But she just wasn't herself.

After the shoot we were sitting in her living room and as they stripped her down for her pajamas we found out that the poor thing had Cactus in her leg!

It was SO sad. NO wonder!

What gets me...is even though the little one had cactus in her leg...her Mom and Dad and Sisters and Brothers could STILL get her to smile if they sang her favorite song...which I wasn't even familiar with!

So I had to dedicate this Friday Foto Finish Fiesta to the Little Stodd. Thanks for being such a TROOPER!!! Now go join in the fun!!!

Love,
