I recently got to shoot a beautiful darling girl. The only catch was that she was extremely shy. So shy in fact, that I could *only* take pictures of her in her mother's lap. And she was still so very serious.

But then I broke out my secret weapon. Many of you know about my weapon.
Squawky Chicken came out of hiding... and I've never seen anyone light up and laugh so hard at him.



Miss E *loved* Squawky Chicken. She never did warm up enough to come off Mama's lap, but I still think I captured glimpses of her beauty....
