On Saturday night we hosted a surprise going-away party for a young couple from our church who are moving to Chapel Hill for graduate school.

One of the attendees was my friend Heather, who is a professional photographer.  She grabbed my camera at one point during the evening because, as she said, “Maddie’s eyes look so pretty in this light.”

She went outside and took a few photos and then came back in.  I never asked her to see them because I was distracted with party cleanup.

Later that night, I flipped through the images on my camera and saw these:

That’s the scowl I keep telling you about.  And believe it or not, I treasure these pictures because I have been unable to capture it as well as Heather did.
