My Model Sister

When I was younger and in dire need of subjects to photograph, my little sister always seemed to be my eager little model (and good thing too, because I probably would have made her anyway.)

These were all taken with a disposable camera, developed at somewhere like Walgreens  put into an album then rediscovered and scanned by me the other day. 

This was just before Halloween (she was a little cave girl, obviously) when I was in 6th  grade
So that would make it 1997.

She was be two years old.

This was from a little session right after they moved out of state.
I made this (adorable) pink dress for her and made her model it when I went to visit.
 

A few years later, when I visited again, I put some makeup on my sister (my mom didn't like that) put one of my jackets on her, grabbed one of my grandma's old porcelain dolls and took her to an old New England graveyard. My mom was all kind of creeped out by this shoot. :D

It was so cold, which made it look like she was sad or crying (that might also have been the eyeliner, which she had never worn before, being 9 and all)

This is probably my favorite ... possibly from all our little shoots. 

Anyway, my sister is awesome. Shes all grown up now and even more beautiful. 

(even though I think she wears too much make up and has too many piercings, but what else am I supposed to think? I'm the big sister.)
