pies n' fries | arizona senior photographer

these two.these two young ladies in the prime of their life.these two young ladies SO not short in beauty.these two young ladies that my amazing sister-in-law and I had the pleasure of sharing pies n' fries with...just because they wanted to. :) (p.s. lauren still had the best pie, SO getting that next time.) ;)I drove home from hanging out with them and seeing their new dorm room asking my sil how they can be for real?!full of character,not swayed by what the media says they are supposed to be about,driven,kind,hilariously funny,loving Jesus in a world that says it isn't worth it,and best friends.it makes my heart happy...it gives me hope for others their age...it gives me someone to turn my little girl towards and say "BE like that."...there are few like that left.and the cool thing about these two...is that they know they aren't perfect,they don't revel in their beauty,they don't walk confidently because of what the world says about them...no.they walk tall because of Whose they are.they walk tall knowing it's a long journey and that it's only the beginning...they know they're going to stumble at times,they know that the battle within is going to feel overwhelming some days...they know that they will want to tap out...they know that it's going to be hard and that it IS hard.but they CHOOSE the hard.and you know what the extra cool thing is?they have each other.and THAT...makes me smile.I cannot wait until my next pies n' fries date with these two...thank you, lauren + lizzie + lindsey for such a memorable night for me. :)
