Inner Beauty Photo Shoot

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing two lovely young women, both of whom recently graduated from college. (It's that time of year when it seems like everyone is transitioning from one life stage to another!)

Kristin has a smile that could dazzle the socks off of you. She's also got this incredible long blonde Rapunzel hair (not quite 70 feet long yet, but getting there).

Jasmine has these stunning eyes that kind of change color to match whatever shade of blue she's wearing. And a great sense of style. I mean, seriously.

What I enjoy most about these ladies, though, is their personality and sense of adventure. I always enjoy interacting with women who exemplify a sense of inner beauty. You can't always catch that sense of sincerity on camera, but occasionally it comes out. For instance, Kristin wasn't afraid to play on the corkscrew fixture at the playground. No, sirree.

And Jasmine cleverly repurposed that pink scarf she's wearing from another piece of clothing. You can't see it in this shot, but she then repurposed it again as a dance ribbon.

Loveliest of all is the friendship between these two, which I've been blessed to participate in over the many years we've known each other.

Happy graduation, Kristin and Jasmine! Here's to two young women who are beautiful, both on the inside and outside!

Next week I'll be starting a series based on my family's roadtrip around the American Southwest. Be sure to check back in for some crazy pictures, stories, and traveler tips!
