This morning when Tim came in to work, he quickly pointed out that I wrote about a photo session, and that I then omitted posting any photos from it. I mentioned to him I had had my reservations about it. He asked me why. “They asked you to take their picture, out on public property.”

Point taken, so I present to you JaToya and Jasmine.

I enjoyed their energy, and I wish I had taken better pictures of (and for) them. I had only had a wide-angle lens with me, and am definitely not a portrait photographer.

Here’s to the beauty of your youth, and the beauty lying on the roads behind and before you two. May He keep you.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
