Piper is the daughter of my dear friend Lar. A few years ago, she was crowned Miss Texas (Junior Teen) in the National American Miss pageant. This was done a few months after… and after she’d broken her foot stepping off a stair in a school production. As Piper said then, “When they tell you break a leg, don’t take it literally.”

This is a studio shot, but for the less advanced photographers – check out the first in a series of tutorials on lighting at the I ♥ Faces website. Watch for the next one coming soon.
