Among other things I volunteer at Girls Inc here in Denver. If you haven’t heard of them check out the website, it’s a fantastic organization that has 100% of my support. The tag line is Strong Smart and Bold. I love that. The girls I’ve met there are absolutely awesome! They are all strong, and know what they want out of life. They’re going for their dreams with everything they’ve got. How many teenagers do you know like that?
I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not easily impressed by most young people. But when I met this group of senior girls, I knew I had to do something special for them. So I decided we’d go out and do a fun photo shoot and then put it all into a book with notes from the girls themselves. Needless to say they loved the idea and we were off! First up were Isioma and Dulce. Who I have to say totally rocked it! I love that we didn’t do a ‘typical’ senior portrait session. (I have to say I’m not a fan of that, which is probably why I typically don’t do seniors) We just went out and had a TON of fun. My kinda session.
Aren’t they gorgeous ladies! I just adore all of them. And we still have another photo shoot to go! Can’t wait!
I think I may be blogging out of order, but hey that’s how it goes sometimes. Zahra was the last senior I did at Girls Inc last month. And she totally ROCKED it! I’ve never seen a young girl with so much confidence and yet be so down to earth and true to herself. And those eyes! You just got lost in how dark and gorgeous they are! I LOVED doing this project with the Girls Inc seniors. It has been such an amazing opportunity to get to know them and how much Girls Inc has helped them. I have no doubt they’ll take their dreams far.
