When I first met Madison she wouldn't say a word. She has only had her picture taken professionally twice before in her life and both sessions did not go well. Her mom said I had my work cut out for me! At the beginning of our session, I introduced myself, gave her some time to get used to her new surroundings, talked to her mom and asked her about her interests. I told her some jokes, but could barely get a reaction out of her. I let her take a couple pictures of me so she could see how the set up would go and then she let me take a few shots of her. It was obvious she was still hesitant about being the center of attention.
But then I started singing.
Now I am not a good singer by any means! Thankfully kids don't mind my singing so much and they love music! When I asked Madison to join in on my terrible rendition of Old MacDonald, she let me in. She warmed up and the most beautiful sparkle came into her eyes. We goofed off and in the end I think she had a lot of fun. It sure looked like it to me!
