This will most likely be a recurrent theme on these blog posts: children growing up. In front of my eyes. Under my nose.
It happens so fast it seems. One moment you are watching your neighbor's cuter-than-a-button daughter zooming around in our cul-de-sac in her bright pink Barbie jeep.
The next moment she's selling you lemonade and cookies with that bright angelic smile of hers.
Then the next moment... she's a teenager.
So our sweet neighbor turned thirteen last weekend. One year left before she roams the halls of high school, and a whole other chapter in the book of her life phases will begin.
Her mama asked if I could take some portraits of her for her birthday.
What I love about taking pictures of girls turning thirteen is you can actually see both the child and the emerging woman in the same moment. It's not an easy thing to live through, mind you, but capturing that transition photographically is pretty special.
