Makayla. Is. Sunshine. How else can I put it? She's the type of person that leaves you feeling happier for having met her, and I think that's a unique and astoundingly beautiful quality. You know the feeling you get when winter is coming to an end, and you walk outside and catch that first hint of spring, and you can't keep the smile off your face? Being around her is like that. And photographing her and her confident smile is also like that.

Makayla, I'm SO glad I got to be your photographer. You're a gem, and you light up the world around you. Shine on, beautiful!

*do small things with great love*
