Meet my pretty Desiree friend...

This girl is one of the most energetic people I know.  From cleaning whatever space she happens to be in at the time to going for a run to attacking her studies, she does everything with her WHOLE heart.  Including hugs.  Desiree gives THE BEST hugs.  She hugs you like she means it, and not like it's a polite social obligation.

The photo below was probably one of my favorites from her session because it captures HER.  She's this beautiful whirlwind of energy, fun, and laughter.

Last week she hopped on a plane and headed off for a summer of adventure to love on kids at an orphanage in Honduras.  And I miss her already, but I'm so excited to see what God has up His sleeve for this girl.

Hugs, Desiree…you are beautiful, and it was an honor to take your photograph.
