As a parent... your opinion? *5 pics*

Cute pictures. Do you really think a child that age knows what she
wants to be in her life? Just curious.

My thoughts too Liz. I worked with a gal who tried desperately to get her boys into modeling when they were toddlers. She took numerous treks to NYC and the boys were about the age of this little girl and seemed oblivious to the whole thing. It really was all about what the mom wanted. I like most of them Kay. The first one is my least favorite. She looks way too sad. I don't care for a lot of the ways kids are portrayed in ads these days. Too often they look angry or *with an attitude.* I guess it sells clothes or whatever.

I prefer the carefree look when it comes to photographing children. Their childhoods are too short as it is.

I totally agree, kids portrayed in ads are made to look like they have attitudes - and part of the problem is that they are being made to look too much like adults, which some sickos like too much (sorry, I volunteer at a domestic abuse/sexual assualt center so this topic gets me a bit fired up).

I do think that you did a good job, and I always think your pictures come out so beautifully.

Nope! Why she may not know what she wants to do long-term, she surely knows what she's doing when I take her pictures. She is a very smart little girl and is a big camera ham. She really enjoys being infront of the camera.

pam, she looks so "angry" because the sun was in her eyes.
