'From my experience, she likely won't smile much.' Challenge accepted! Having been former co-workers, I was super excited when I was asked to do some family photos with Mindy and her loved ones. And presented with a shy, stuck-to-mom's-leg-like-glue toddler, I came armed with M&M's, and a determination to coax her out of her shell. It took a bit of patience, but smile she did! And it didn't hurt that there were pretty fall leaves to make a fun mess with!
