"How often do they do this and why do they insist on me wearing a dress?" a frustrated Callie asked Mariana. Her search through the closet for an appropriate dress is not going well at all.
Mariana told Callie that it had been years since they had a formal portrait and that Moms always thought it was cute to wear the same color in the picture.
"Why don't you just borrow one of my dresses? It's not like you have a whole lot of purple clothes at your disposal" Mariana told Callie as she shows her older sister the options. Callie studies the dresses and settles on the one she believes to be the best despite the fact that it's shorter then Callie is used to and frankly far too purple for her personal tastes.
The family gathers in the backyard as Stef is getting the camera set up. It dawns on Stef that maybe Callie should be the one to take the picture given her flare for photography.
"Here Callie, you take over." Stef says to Callie as she walks towards the rest of her family. Callie spends the next several minutes making sure everyone is lined up perfectly and smiling. Just as the picture is perfect she jumps in and the camera flashes.
A few days later when Stef and Lena pick up the picture from the printer they can't help but beam from ear to ear. This year's portrait is the best ever and Callie has a big part in that.
