Every so often I get the opportunity to photograph something other than a wedding. My sister asked me to photograph my nieces recently and we all had a wonderful day hanging out together and trying to get a smile out of them. My youngest niece refuses to smile for a photo unless she see's her toy elephant, so we had to incorporate that into the shoot with every photo. Looking at these photos makes me laugh, seeing their beautiful faces and knowing that my sister was behind me dancing around with a stuffed elephant.
