Eastern North Carolina Photographer {Just Because Session: Moriah} !!Sneak Peek!!

How do I even begin to explain how much I love and admire this incredible teenager.  Anyone who comes into contact with her will first be smitten by her illuminating smile.  After being bowled over by her infectious personality and her energizing laugh, you would probably be captured by her caring and genuine spirit.  As if that wasn’t enough, this girl loves Jesus with all her heart.  She is smart, funny, spontaneous, and doesn’t take herself too seriously at all.  If you can’t tell by now, I absolutely and completely adore this gorgeous young woman.

The first time I met Moriah, she was this teeny little skinny kid running around our church’s elementary wing and giving these amazing hugs to all the little toddlers who followed her around.  She just has this way with people….babies, toddlers, kids, her peers, adults….it doesn’t matter.  Everyone.  Loves.  Her.  That includes me.  And my kids.  Yep.

So, about 2+ years ago, Moriah asked me to do a photo session with her.  Maybe I asked her.  I don’t remember.  The point is, we have been meaning to do this for a really long time.  For whatever reason, it just never worked out.  I have to say, though, I’m glad it didn’t work out sooner, because tonight was just meant to be.  The weather was amazing.  The little downtown was buzzing with activity.  She looked adorable.  It really was photographic perfection.

This is just a sneak peek, because there were way too many pictures to choose from.  I’m going to work on editing through them tomorrow, because the rest of them are just as fantastic as these ones.  This girl doesn’t take a bad shot.  Nope.

Moriah, I love you, girl!

I don’t usually process my images very heavily.  At least I don’t think I do.  This one, though, I had some fun with.  It just felt good.
