When I met my husband, he told me that he worked with teenagers.  Being an elementary school teacher at the time, I thought... "That's nice". But I was always afraid of teenagers.  I knew that I could never ever work with them.  
Fast forward seven years later, I now volunteer for him and cannot get enough of these High School kids! First of all... they are SO FUN Like so much more fun than people my age.  I laugh SO HARD when I am with them and seriously would love to hang out with them every night (we practically do!) 
Anyways... Ali's mom heard that I was a photographer and called me in a panic just days before her daughter's Sweet 16.  She hadn't booked a photographer and knew she needed to capture her daughter in her dress and all made up on her special night!  Every part of me was screaming "no!" I am SO BOOKED UP and I had a huge event the night before.  But I couldn't say no.  (That's a serious problem that I have!) and I knew that it would be so much fun to work with a sixteen year old.  
Ali is amazing! I wish I had more time with her!  Even though we had just met, I felt like we've always knew each other.   Anyways... check out some of my favorite images from our mini session together.  Thank you Ali, for choosing me to be your photographer! You are gorgeous!!!
