Low Angle

Today's challenge is Low Angle. This is my girl getting her makeup done on Saturday to go to a quinceanera for her very good friend.  These are her with her makeup and hair done and her dress on. She's not a little girl anymore, that's for sure...

I love this girl- truly, madly, deeply. She is the best of me mixed with a lot of what could only come from her own unique heart and mind.  She cares about the world within and outside of her world and she teaches me every day.  She is VERY mature and aware of the world around her and I worry that she will miss out on some of the fun of being a teenager as she protects herself from getting hurt and/or disappointed.  She reads a lot of books that are probably more suited to 16 year olds, but she asks questions when she is not clear on something, even if the material might seem kind of embarassing (and it is at times, but we don't shy away from it and I'm proud of that).  She's simply amazing. I love her more than she could ever imagine.
