The Beginning

This is a dear friend from high school.  I was interested in photographing her before photography itself.  She hated having her picture taken…really hated it!  I thought she had the most beautiful face, so I talked her into letting me take a few picture of her, with a camera I had since 5th grade.  Guess what?  She modeled for me several times after that, and even did a little professional modeling on the side.  I love making people understand that they’re gorgeous, especially when they don’t know it…
