Once a year, I have had the privilege of taking these two young ladies' pictures. I am also very fortunate to call them my nieces.  DSC_2683

My first session ever with Allie, was for her second birthday. She was very stubborn and refused to smile even a little. She mostly pouted and needless to say there were no smiles. Over time however she warmed up to me, and has become a very good model. Allie is a sophomore at Ottoville High School and recently celebrated her sixteenth birthday. Allie loves to golf and is a cheerleader.

Allie's younger sister, Lexie has always liked the camera. At one time, she only recognized me when I had a camera in my hand, but also believed my oldest was me when she too picked up a camera. Lexie is in the seventh grade at Ottoville Local Schools where she is in volleyball and basketball.
