I have to post a few of these!  My niece, who should be the easiest subject for me to photograph, always makes me work the hardest!  When she was here for her last visit I begged her to let me take a few photos in her owl hat she got for Christmas.  I also bought her the fur vest, but she politely declined the gift! Haha…I guess we don’t have the exact same taste!  At least I got her to wear it for a few photos (and yes, I did try to squeeze myself into the vest because I LOVE IT, it didn’t work though…).  She’s also been losing her teeth, so we naturally had to capture a few toothless smiles 🙂

My trick with her is to let her come up with her own poses… they are always very interesting and creative 😉  (below I believe we have confused, cold and mad)

And when we finished her photoshoot that was “way too long” in her opinion, she decided she was going to be the photographer and I would be her subject.  So we tried a few, she had some hilarious ideas…all of them entailed me posing with her bird and bear.

To my dear sweet niece…you make me smile!
