2026. October. A few months ago, my friend Ann contacted me about doing a special shoot for her daughter, Parker. Her birthday was coming up, as was Homecoming. You see, this past spring, they lost Parker’s sweet little sister suddenly on her 13th birthday, and Parker has been coming up with different ways to keep Presley present in her life, in all of her special moments and experiences. She is the best big sister. So her mom told me of her plan, and we hatched it out, including Parker’s besties on the idea. She wore her sister’s favorite color, and her mom and dad came out, surprising her with these big cutouts of Presley. Ann laughed when we had first talked about this and said she knew that I would be game and think it awesome and not morbid. They wanted it to be fun, not sad. And I think I heard big sis say, “I look too pretty to be sad!” 💙 Parker, you are beautiful inside and out. I love you, Stine fam! Presley sure is loved.
