Portrait: Emily!

Emily is my neighbor. She is also one of my best friends, my barn buddy, and now, my model.

She's 12 years old, and she agreed to every pose I asked of her. She's a great Christian, and she sends wonderful updates on the barn when I'm out of commission from having wisdom teeth pulled.

Crouching in the woods... don't you just love her shoes?

In a tree!

Emily climbed a tree for me! :)

Converse on a tub. :)

Skateboard is Christian's....

She's not the best at boarding, but she looks natural with it, right?

Leaning against a tree.

Would you believe that I stood on a tree to get this shot?

She sat on the ground, looking up, and I stood on a weirdly grown madrona tree.

Ahhh... relaxing during the summer.

Long grass, blue jeans... what else is summer good for?

Don't you just love this fence?

Black and White!

Her shoe. I found an awesome prop in the woods, but my brother ruined it.

She has a beautiful smile.

Isn't she pretty with pigtails?

She's awesome!

So pretty! I love her hair.

And her eyes... 

She's just amazing!

And then there was this cat. She loved me, and kept following me. Kitty was NOT happy when I walked away.

On the skateboard!

Almost balanced!

Woah.....

Whoops! Mira fell!

But got right back up.

Isn't she a cutie?

Looks like a hobby, huh?

Emily is so good!

See! She does it all by herself!

Converse and a skateboard. Classic, right?

Mira!

She is SOOOO cute!

Whoops! Almost tripped!

Annabelle, look!

Smile!

Look out for the bike!

I gotta go now...

"Mom says it's time for supper."

Pretty flowers, huh?

She's just gorgeous.

Okay, I really gotta go.

Byeee!

Doesn't she have the prettiest eyes?

This is my friend, Emily. I hope we'll see more of her later. :)
Her siblings played hooky today, perhaps we'll see them later, as well!
