entry description
I am re-visiting and photographing mother/daughter pairs that I photographed several years ago. This time, the young women are seniors in high school, charting their futures and making plans. The mothers, too are preparing for their next chapters. I am interested in the relationship between this pair and recognizing them both as individuals and also as a unit and how they interact during this exciting, transitional time in both their lives.about the photographer
