This Is Girl: Melina

According to mom, Angela, ten year old Melina, “is creative, fun, smart, and kind,” and shared, “I don't think I can pick just one thing I love best about her. I love the whole package!”

Melina immediately started drawing when I prompted the girls to write down their favorite thing about themselves. She came in casual clothes and completely transformed for her shoot. Love to see her inner self shine on the outside.

K: Tell me about your outfit? Why are you dressed like this today?
M: I play soccer. I like to skate. I play a lot of music.
