although i am a specialized wedding photographer, as a favor to my cousin Leah, this year i decided to continue to take on a few graduation sessions. the group of girls i got this year were absolutely incredible, every single one of them. they reminded me of the beauty of getting EXCITED, and that you can always laugh more and smile bigger. i started to realize how special these girls are, and what an amazing chapter this is in their story. graduating is scary. change is hard. stepping out into the world for the first time requires bravery. and these girls had it. so, i bring to you ~ the 2013 princess series.
