My niece, Emma, just appeared on the blog a few weeks ago. But lucky lucky, here she is again! This past weekend, she and her brother slept over at my parents’ house one night so all the little cousins could have some more quality time together. When the boys decided it was time to watch Justice League, Emma and I headed outside to have a little photo shoot. I asked her to give input on what she thought would be good locations. She had a great eye! I explained a little bit about light, and why some locations that looked enticing really were not desirable at that particular time.
This was actually the last image I shot, but it’s my favorite, so I’m putting it first. Emma here is behind the wheel of my dad’s classic Mercury. I’m ashamed to admit I’m drawing a blank on what year it is! (The car, that is. My blank is on what year the car is. I know what year we are living in.)

She’s only 8, but that’s a pretty darn good sullen look. Hey, brother of mine (Emma’s dad) – enjoy the teenage years!



This location pose was all Emma’s idea. Nice job!
Runner-up favorite. She reminds me a little of a young Anna Paquin here.

Ok, Emma…. you are a great model! The first image is killer, with the car’s steering wheel and those dark shadows from the sunlight. Excellent work, ladies!
She looks like she was really into the shoot. What a great model.
