I photographed my wife’s cousin recently on a trip to Missouri. We just used a little courtyard at a local grestaurant/sports bar where we were all eating lunch one afternoon. She’s a great kid, but a tad shy and quiet, as most teenagers tend to be when it comes to hangin’ out with their “older” relatives. But I think she had a good time and we got some nice shots of her. I even went so far as to give her orange hair matching the look of the singer of one of her favorite bands, Paramore. But alas, the response was again typical of a teeneger…”Ew. That’s ugly.” Ce la vie.
