Best Friends | St. Louis Photography

for my nieces 13th birthday I thought it would be a fun gift to give her a session with her best friends….. she has such a close knit relationship with her girl friends and they are always having little mock photoshoots, so I thought that the girls would really have fun with this!  That was back in December, little did I know the schedules of 5 13 year olds would be so crazy and hard to pin down a date that they could all do!  fast forward to a few weeks ago…. it was 105 degrees outside, and they were all available…. hahaha!

I don’t know about these girls but I had a blast in-spite of the sweltering heat…… we dunked our feet in a little stream, threw confetti, and chased after ducks!  And, not only are these girls gorgeous (i did not look like this at 13!!!) but they are so beautiful on the inside too….. always encouraging each other and telling the others how pretty they look in the pictures i was taking….. it was so amazing!

These beauties have been waiting a long 2 weeks for their preview…… i went on a 11 day vacation the day after this shoot (more on that later), so thank you girls for being so patient!
