When my dear friend asked me to take pictures of her daughter and friends for her 16th birthday celebration, I of course said yes.  I have to admit that even though I was honored, I was a little nervous.  Taking pictures of people is not my favorite thing.  They move more than bridges and fences do.  I don't have to worry about wine glasses looking at the camera and smiling.  But I'm always up for a challenge and getting to spend time with my friend was an added bonus.  And what do ya know...I had a wonderful time capturing these young ladies.  They had so much fun posing, and their laughter was contagious.
