"Teenage hearts are raw and new, fast and fierce, and they do not know their own strength. Neither do they know reason or restraint, and if you want to know the truth, a goodly number of grown-up hearts never learn it.”  - Catherynne M. Valente ,  The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There There was something nostalgic about these three photos from the shoot yesterday, of course I edited them to look aged, but the wisdom is in the eyes isn't it? Aw teenagers.. just when I think I'm smarter than you, your wisdom stops me in my tracks.. 

Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud.                                                         

Well as I sit here tonight it finally feels like fall. I want things with Pumpkin in them, I'm already thinking about caroling and neighborhood Christmas pageants and I bet it's 65 degrees outside.. LOL sigh. If I lived in Texas I suppose I would get my fix at the Friday night lights experience.. Yes, yes I know we have that here, but there's something about the lack of pickup trucks and the way everyone says their "i's" that throws me off...what I wouldn't give for some of those concession stand Nachos. That's vegan right? These lovely girls belong to my latest family shoot. Welcome to Middle School. We are Adventure seekers, emotional and reflective, sparkly, and confident.
