my flower girl

is all grown up. it's hard to believe the little girl who was dressed like me almost twelve years ago is old enough to be a high school senior. she's grown into an extraordinary person. plus, she is a lot of fun. i was more than honored to take her senior pictures while in cincinnati last week.

we laughed a lot. if there was a wrong turn to take, we took it. to the point that, when i told her we'd have to hurry at our next location before we lost the light, then topped the hill only to see a train forcing us to stop, we burst into laughter. that was pretty much par for the course that night!

it was wonderful to get to spend some one-on-one time with her. i feel like i got to know her better-what makes her tick and what she loves (um, metro station, for starters).

very cool girl. incredibly smart. not afraid to be herself. and with the most amazing eyes!
