Aunt Beste called me to arrange for a portrait of her six year old niece, Diana. On the big day Diana arrived like a Princess in a pink chiffon dress. Our plan was to photograph Diana with a selection of dresses and then....perhaps we would go outside.

Although quite content and easy to photograph, I wasn’t able to coax any joyous expressions. Methinks Princess Diana wasn’t in a ‘dress’ mood. I'm pleased to say that I did get a lovely contemplative mood with the profile.

Finally the dresses were discarded and on went the jeans, the top, and the long red sweater. Once outside and carefree, the body language took on an air of confidence and freedom. Between running, hopping, skipping, and jumping off the brick wall, I got the other Princess- the one with the slightly tilted halo!
