The girl who giggles

My brother is out of town, and I have been taking care of my oldest niece for the last couple of days.  She has been the subject of many of my photographs, most of them while playing together.

I have documented most of her early years, since we lived in the same house for some time.  Today, she's only four. 

She's turning into a happy, young girl, who is constantly giggling and playing with bubbles.  

And while life continues it's own course, these photos will always remind me of the little girl she used to be, and the woman she will become.
