it’s been just about three years since i’ve wrapped my arms around my dear friend and given her a hug. aside from our few and far between iChats, i haven’t seen her... and it had been way too long. but even though the years passed— and it’s a pity given how close we live (relatively speaking)—spending time with her is just as it’s always been. easy. fun. heartfelt. wonderful. we’ve been friends since 7th grade, and needless to say we’ve been through a lot of changes in our lives. i love where she is in her life, and i’m so proud to call her my friend.
her husband, on the other hand... ha!
just kidding D! i’m just glad she found someone to put up with her.
these are some of the other pictures from her “shoot”. i’m putting that in quotes because it was not the typical session. we waited until the last day of our visit. and although we hadn’t had much rain in the previous days, it was like murphy’s law. we woke up to rain and i think this must have been the only brief break the entire day. so when we saw the rain let up to a sprinkle, we darted out of the coffee shop and headed for the water. cranky kids and all.
i NEVER bring my son to a shoot, for obvious reasons. and, of course, he was with us... pushing my buttons the entire time. knowing full-well that i was preoccupied. it’s truly a miracle he didn’t end up in the drink! he wanted to though, as you’ll see in an upcoming post.
in between shouting at my son and cringing at his proximity to the Sound, i got a few shots i really like. i hope my dear friend does as well. but here’s the great thing about having a photography loving buddy: you get lots of opportunities for pictures... and i’ll even put you up at my house, and provide a killer latté to boot!
enjoy...
