Warning: These Smiles are Contagious
Jessica turned 16 last week.
She invited some friends over and they had a great time modeling for me!
Jessica looks gorgeous!
I love this shot. The hands complete the circle of friends.
I would love to have pictures like this of my friends when I was in high school!
Ok, I love this one too!
The girls are naturals at hitting a pose!
Jess’s friend, Jaime, of Mane Expressions in Clark, came over to do the girls’ hair.
I tried to get a natural, unposed, picture of each of the girls. I love the colors in this one.
I love “getting ready” shots!
I was also looking to capture the everyday stuff. I love the drama of this shot.
I had as much fun as the girls did!
Like I said, contagious smiles!
The girls know each other through cheerleading, but they all go to different schools. How cool is that?
The obligatory “hair-flip.”
I see this one framed on the bedside table.
All good parties have a cake.
Jess is so sweet. Theresa had a knee injury and couldn’t do any serious running or jumping. So rather than have her friend sit out the jump shot, Jessica made sure everyone was in the picture. (I love that.)
This is a sweet shot of Jess and Marissa.
I’m so jealous of Jessica. She has such great friends! Thank you all for being such great models for me and for having such a great time!

But beware: if you’re one of those women (like me, for example) who cries at Hallmark commercials, better get out the tissues ‘cuz this one is suh-WEET!

These are fabulous! I just commented on your slideshow. I guess we are on the same wavelength tonight, or something. I love the black and white shots too.
