When this teenager first stepped out of the car with her mom, I smiled.  I think she just has that effect on people. She is just naturally sweet.  As we walked from point to point, she kept smiling.  Even when I wanted a tough, attitude-ridden look from her, she just couldn’t do it.  I laughed and told her it was a good thing that it was hard for her to look mean. LOL  But we finally mastered the non-smile and got some amazing pictures of this beautiful girl.  While I don’t know how to relate to teenagers now a days since my kids are much younger, I do love photographing them, especially when they like having their pictures taken and are up for anything.  I made this poor girl hug trees, wade through weeds, jump off boulders, etc.  And as we walked back to our cars, the skies opened and the rain started.  We finished just in time!
