So my niece is the perfect model, I’m not bragging or anything, it is totally fact 🙂 She is so good she tells me where the best place to take her picture will be and the best poses. All kidding aside she is willing to let me practice new stuff on her and is always a great sport for whatever I ask. So she really and truly is the perfect model. It is becoming so amazing to take her picture because she is no longer the baby I met 4 years ago, she is a little girl now. I’m not sure why it comes across so much more in photos then in person but she has grown up so much. She is now a little girl and has opinions on everything 🙂 One opinion is that her Aunt Melissa is the best photographer and what can I say, she is right again 😉 Her Aunt Melissa thinks she is the most beautiful 6 year old ever and I hope her Mommy helps her read this post! I love you Cara!!! Thanks for being my perfect model!
Update 2021 – This gorgeous little girl is now 18 and I got to take her senior photos last fall!!!! I’ll post one below so you can see how she has grown and then the link to check out the rest! Also let’s take a moment to appreciate how much I’ve grown in my photography skills over the last 12 years lol!
