A vertical portrait of a mother and daughter on the island of St. Martin in the Caribbean. Mother and daughter fill most of the frame, except for a huge white cloud that extends from the mother’s shoulders to the top of the image—apart from blue sky in the upper left and right corners of the photo. The mother, in her twenties, wears a gold sleeveless tank top and a gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant, which contrasts brightly against her dark skin. She smiles broadly as she faces the camera. Her hands braid her daughter’s hair, who sits in front of and below her. The daughter, who also looks directly at the camera, scrunches up her eyes, nose, and mouth—reacting to mom who is pulling her hair into tight braids.

Reluctant Braids

On the island of Saint Martin, near the public markets, I came across a mother braiding her daughter’s hair.  As you can see, daughter wasn’t too happy about it.
