Samantha's new modeling career?

Some friends of ours from church run a children's clothing business. They make super adorable clothes. They mostly sell locally, but have some ads in various catalogs. My friend called the other day and was asking if they could use Samantha as a model for some pictures. A military catalog they advertise in was giving them a last minute deadline to submit pictures. We said sure, and within an hour or two they had sewn up a dress and hat that was Samantha's size and we met them at a park for a photo shoot. She said she thought of using Samantha for this because she is adorable even without smiling, so they figured they'd get a decent picture even if she didn't cooperate too much. Samantha loved wearing a new dress, but wasn't so sure about smiling and posing for pictures. Near the end, we had to do some bribing (offering french fries and time on the playground) as she was stomping off saying she wouldn't do anymore. Many pictures turned out cute enough and they were able to meet the deadline. Here are a couple of pictures, with more to come of the reverse side of the dress.

Because it was for a military catalog, they wanted Sammie to hold a flag and pose near some memorials at the park.
