You'd never know, without my admission, that this morning had begun with Emalie running around shirtless crying "No pictures. No pictures!!" I had actually put more thought into this session than I usually do (I even had her hair cut!), so I was feeling pretty disgruntled by her behavior. I guess the only factor I didn't equate was that with each passing day of Sven's hunting trip away from home, Emalie was getting grumpier and grumpier. The session was scheduled for day 6 of his absence and he was due home that afternoon. Poor little girl had too many emotions running through her and sitting for pictures was not very high on her to-do list. Thank goodness no one was watching, because I was eventually able to get her to smile by making a complete fool of myself. They were fleeting moments-- blink and you miss it. I do believe this session encompassed quite a few of her mannerisms that I don't usually capture. So, view on for Emalie's "PERSONALITY" session!

| The devilish sideways grin...... |
 |
| The "why am I holding a flower that's bigger than me?" pose...... |
 |
| The complete ensemble: a dress we bought for her in China that I couldn't imagine her ever fitting into and a pair of heels I couldn't get her to take off even though they're two sizes too big! |
 |
| "ROAR!" No, she wasn't being cute, she was being short-fused! |
 |
| This is my favorite......looks just like a little angel (a solemn angel, but still an angel!). |
And this set is for Grandma. Grandma gave Emalie this outfit the first time they met. Adorable, simply adorable-- a little lady on the verge of growing up way too fast.
