Sometimes I get opportunities to photograph one person. It is rare, but it is so much fun!  This session with Allyana was even more fun, because I just love her  ;).  I wish I had pictures like this at 15 to remember life at a much simpler time. Where the biggest thing you worried about was what concert you were going to or if your parents would allow you to attend a friend’s birthday.

Allyana is smart, beautiful and brave. I admire her courage.  When I read this quote below it reminded me of her. She is who she is and is not apologizing for it!

Why fit in when you were born to STANDOUT! – Dr. Seuss
