Stepping into adulthood

in protestant Christianity we have a ritual similar the the Jewish bar/bat mitzvah.
And in Iceland it's customary to have a photoshoot of the children just before their confirmation.
This is my sisters stepdaughter and they only knew they didn't want those typical studio pictures that everyone does.
So I allowed myself to get a little creative.

First thing I noticed was the need for fill. Glad you are going to get out the reflector.

lovely child and very nice location
another pose in another spot and it'll be perfect
