As I was editing Lauren's photos, the images that really spoke to me were the ones above because they captured her in her unguarded moments. I dunno ... for some reason, I loved the honesty in these images and I imagine that these expressions are ones her parents have seen often when she's in quiet reflection and simply resting in who she is.
Dear Lauren,
I don't want to embarrass you,
BUT, you need to know that if
my girls have your
quiet self-confidence,
your intelligence,
your kindness
and a heart as big as yours
when they're sixteen,
I will consider myself sooooo lucky.
Seriously.
Hope your senior year is as *lovely* as you are.
Beautiful girl and beautiful pictures. You do such an incredible job of capturing a person's spirit- what a gift. I am enjoying your poetry.
