Initially I hired Andrea to be a model as I was looking for additional practice for portraiture. And I planned on it being only Andrea showing up. Ahead of the shoot, she told me that she would be bringing her daughter with her. This kind of killed my initial plans, but what resulted was much better than expected. Instead of it being just Andrea, it became a documentary-style mother-daughter shoot of Andrea and Serenity having a couple hours at the park. Completely candid from start to finish, taking a lot of pressure off me since I have no experience directing a model - and unfortunately still don't.
