You can tell this girl is full of JOY.
She smiles and hugs without relenting.
She makes new friends in the blink of an eye.
She is willing to try anything new.
She's a pretty amazing girl!
Elena was my first student at work back in the days when we were both younger.
I am so happy that I made a connection with her and her family then and feel to lucky to have stayed connected with them
so that I can continue to see how her life unfolds for her Senior Year - and beyond, I hope!
Need proof of her joy? Her mom told me during our shoot that her graduation party is already planned and they are expecting over 300 people to attend.
Elena has already started inviting people - and they'll all show up to wish her the best.
How wonderful, Pam! You have captured the essence of Elena. As you know, the hardest part was trying to make her NOT smile so much! Thanks so much for giving her a fun photo shoot.
