"Elise was crying just before the photo shoot"

"So you know, Elise was crying just before the photo shoot and she did not want to do it at all. You are a master Val, and did an absolutely amazing job with capturing her emotion. Look at her eyes again, you will see into her soul. I think our subconscious minds pick that sort of thing up. At first glance you only see her beauty, but if you really look, you will see the rest of the story. That photo nailed it! Thanks for all you do, we love you and Stefanie!"  — Lisa Yellott
