i can not get over these huge blue eyes and wild thick curls. i knew from the first time i photographed this one, that she had a unique spark. it was a very special reunion to photograph her again. almost a grown up. love how in some shots she looks like an intense young women and others like a silly little girl. i guess that's what being thirteen is all about. looking quite serious while hiding your blue braces.
these are just gorgeous!

well i think it's safe to say this is my favorite session. not just because she is beautiful and you are amazing, but that when you get together, there is an honest connection. so milky and fresh but REAL. i clicked the link, and wow you captured her even back then. and Heather, I am so blown away by your work i saw when i traveled there. you are the photographer i would choose to capture me and my famiy--

holy smokes she is beauty-ful!! wow. those eyes!
and uh TOTALLY jealous of your shoot in hawaii!! if you like pineapple at all, you HAVE to try one there. i'm not even kidding it's like eating candy in pineapple form! if you get it in stores make sure you get the ones that are completely or close to all yellow or get it at one of the street side stands. oh. i'm going through withdrawals now. have a safe and awesome trip!!! cannot wait to see your images from there!!
