I Am Going To Make You Look Natural

Her son the photographer wanted his mother to look natural Do not dress up! He instructed her. I want you in your pajamas. She always dresses up. She was not excited about it. Here, he said, handing her a bouquet of lavender. She did not even like the smell of lavender. I am going to make you look super natural, he said. He had a cheesy smile. She was a girly woman who liked wearing dresses and jewelry. Nothing natural about this, she thought.
