My Model

I have a friend and neighbor who, like me, is a stay at home mom and artist.  Her particular craft is creating beautiful, one of a kind clothing for little ones.  She has been working on building a website to promote her clothing.  Recently she asked me if I thought Tessie would mind modeling, so she could post pictures of the outfits being worn.  Um, hello?  Have you met my daughter?  I let her know that I thought Tes would jump at the chance.  Which she did.  Literally.

Today my friend arrived with her arms full of colorful dresses, hats, and bags.  Tessie was practically salivating.  Nick offered to photograph her in our back yard, and we started the production.  We got Tessie into the first outfit, and Nick positioned her by the river.  She immediately struck a pose.  It was hard not to be overwhelmed by the cuteness.  Tessie strutted, she preened, and she smiled like she was born to do this.  Oh dear.

After several wardrobe changes, and fading light, we packed up the shoot, and called it a wrap.  Tessie was beaming, and my friend was grateful.  I was beside myself.  We looked back over some of the pictures I got on my phone, and we all couldn’t help laughing.  I have quite a prima donna on my hands.  I asked Tes if she had fun and she replied, “Ya, and I was really good.”  Wow, at least we won’t worry about her confidence.  What a beautiful little model.
