Friendships are so great, and should be celebrated...especially in portraits. This last week I had a wonderful session with Chloe Burleson and her friend Jessica Carlen, who have been friends for years. Chloe was celebrating her 13th birthday, and Jessica flew in from Huntersville, South Carolina to join in on the celebration! To honor the girl's relationship, Chloe's mom, Maria, asked me to create a portrait of the two girls together. What a memory this will be for the girls in years to come.

I've been playing with doing more work by natural light, and these portraits are a great sampling of that style of work. They have a softer look and feel to them that I'm really enjoying.



Maria took a quick shot of the three of us after the camera study was over...thought I'd include that as well. Oh, to be 13 again!
