::SAVANNAH RAYE::

 My little sister turned me into a photographer. I had dabbled for years on whatever camera we had as a family, and then I started taking my sister along on shoots. She quickly became my biggest inspiration, and the best model I could hope for. Our final shoot before she made her big move to Bellingham, Washington was not only the last time I would shoot her for awhile, but the last time she would have her long hair for a very long time. She's been growing it out for years, and a few days before she moved she cut about a foot and a half off to donate to Locks of Love in our late Aunt Kathy's honor. What better way to say goodbye to the long hair than go for a shoot on a windy day? It turned out to be the perfect time. Looking back at these photos and prepping them for this blog post was actually pretty difficult. I really miss this amazing sister of mine. I am, however, pretty excited to do part two of this photo shoot- short haired Savannah in Washington!
