she is shy

So, many of you are aware of my "Year in the life" project I do here at the school.  The most challenging kids are the ones that don't like the idea of me following them around school.  I guess they think that I am going to embarrass them or take a photo of them doing something against school rules.  Honestly, I don't care what they are doing...I just need to get a feel of the year from them as it progresses.  It is very difficult for me to get the time to follow the students during the school day because I do not have child care.  My mom comes once in a while now and I have to figure out how to manage my time so that I can get into the classrooms.  VERY challenging.  I have to plan ahead so that I have child care, talk with the teachers so I don't surprise them (honestly, NO ONE has ever complained about me being in their room during class...it is really super nice of them and makes my work that much easier), and give a little heads up to the kids I follow...sometimes.  The shy kids are hard to photograph as well...like this subject.  She is BEAUTIFUL and the camera loves her...but, she is shy.  It is difficult, but when I get some gems it makes it all the more satisfying.  Like these:
