Jessica

Jessica was both a joy and sorrow to photograph yesterday. A joy because she's one of my favorite girls, a sorrow because she's moving half way across the country on Monday!

I've known Jess since she was 8, she's now a 16 year old junior in highschool. I babysat her, taught her piano, was her youth leader, worship director for youth group, and I think after this much time, definitely friend. She loves church, Jesus, being happy and being with her friends. We'd planned to do Jess's senior pictures next summer, but because of the move that doesn't look like it'll be happening, so we had a for fun shoot yesterday.

She was a joy to photograph, smiles easily and naturally basically all the time, and laughed at my goofy quirks. I tend to talk to myself, occassionally out loud while I'm shooting, and with Jess, that brought out this easy laughter that made for sparkling eyes and big smiles.

Gorgeous girl, inside and out. It was a pleasure to do your pictures Jessica! Miss you already girl!
