Stella and I go way back to before she was even born. I met her mom Meg at Ohio University in 1995 and I am so grateful that she continues to be one of my ride or die friends.

The photos of wee Stella here are from a visit to the Cape long ago. The man is my dad and Stella was very excited to help him fold the laundry!

Stella is now wrapping up her high school career and I couldn’t be prouder of the confident, cool, smart human she’s become and I know she’ll continue to be!

I went out to the Berkshires and caught the last of the day’s light for Stella’s session. I love the location she chose and her willingness to pose for some more unusually lit portraits.

Love you to pieces, Stella!
