i heart faces: celebrating teens

Meet Desi. She is one very beautiful and very young teen that I had the privilege of not only photographing, but teaching this past year as well! What most of you probably don't know about me is that I teach eighth grade reading 10 months out of the year!
If you ask Desi what her favorite book was this year, my guess is that she would tell you "Dear John"! She didn't put that thing down!
