Our 2nd assignment for the photo workshop in Copenhagen was given on Wednesday, shot on Thursday and critiques on Friday. We had to take photos for a "Day in the Life" story. The subject had to be a stranger...We had to spend 5 hours with them and at some point go into their home. Meet Louise and Amalie Almeborg, my subjects for the assignment. Louise, 24, is a single mother to her 2 1/2 year old daughter Amalie. They live about 40 minutes outside of Copenhagen. They moved into their apartment a couple months ago, and Louise is trying to make it feel like home. I have never seen a 2 1/2 year old with more personality than Amalie. Even with a bad case of the chicken pox, she acted like nothing was wrong. Louise is a truly dedicated mother. She told me that one of her favorite things to say to Amalie is, "I love you from the bottom of my heart." One day, they were walking to kindergarten and Amalie looked up at her mom and repeated the phrase out of the blue. If anything could summarize this relationship it would be this.

- I am recent graduate of the University of Missouri, majoring in photojournalism. Right now, I am a photo intern at The Dallas Morning News. Last year, I attended the Danish School of Media and Journalism in the International Photojournalism program. I love the journey of working on a photo story, the destination is never what was predicted.
