I love these photos, taken by Alessandra Guinetti, of two elementary-school-age Argentinian girls - cousins, if I'm not mistaken - as they play and revel in the delights of girlhood. They remind me of the many hours I spent with my very first best friend, hiding under beds, raising doll families, looking for elves and fairies in the backyard. We never found any, but we never gave up.
Alessandra's portraits have been compiled into a book, The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of their Dreams; a second - featuring a glance into their lives as young adults - will be out next year. See more on her website, here.
