InsideOut

These 8 girls make up a church small group, the two in the back are the leaders.

Let’s start with how drop dread gorgeous they all are.

What are the odds that when the youth of their church (which is enormous, ENORMOUS, by the way) were broken up into small groups that the eight most beautiful were placed together.

And here’s the real kicker.

As visually stunning as they all are on the outside, which is very nice thing to be of course…

They were all five times as beautiful in personality, which is more important.

Sweet, kind, hilarious. They were all supportive of each other and did their level best to keep each other laughing.

It was rough going trying to get serious shots in-between all the hilarity.

Which is the best problem in the world for a photographer.

Because it meant that their eyes were still laughing while they were posing with introspective faces.

Except this cutie. She said serious don’t work for her. And I said, if you are already perfect, why mess with it? She had me rolling with giggles. ROLLING. I was still laughing at her awesomeness when I was editing two days later.

Their leaders were pretty spectacular too (the one on the left is my Alpha Gam sister!). Although I didn’t get more than 3 minutes with them, they were gracious and sort of melted into the background so the small group girls could take the spotlight.

Here’s what I liked the most about this shoot. Sure, they were all perfect subjects and sure, they were all knock you off your feet beautiful and sure, they all have glowing personalities. But I liked that no one took themselves too seriously. They were prepaid to have a silly good time while capturing Teen Vogue worthy photos. The whole afternoon could not have been more fun. Warmer, yes. But not more fun. Impossible.
