23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Fairy Tale.

This is Gigi. A little girl with an abundant amount of curiosity. We celebrated her birthday this year by taking her out for a photoshoot, into the forests of West Virginia. We had her pick out a favorite book to read. Gigi constantly battles the daily struggles of having Cystic Fibrosis, and yet still maintains her joy and eagerness to explore the world around her.
