she's my third cousin....

and

just like most of my photo shoots

she had that look of

"who's this crazy woman with the camera"

she doesn't know who i am

~~

at eighteen months

she

lives down south with her parents

but

lucky us

they came for a visit

here's part of my extended family

celebrating her grandpa's

60th birthday

~~

after some grumbling about the rain

i convinced them all that a few raindrops wouldn't make them melt

and

finally got them outside for a group shot

who did she love best

from our totally crazy family

that i adore

~

well

that would be her fourth cousin

~my niece~

and

the feeling was mutual

*

but

see that scowl....she's still not so sure about me
