kelly’s sneak peek

This Fall, I had the wonderful opportunity to take some photographs for a very long-time friend and her beautiful family. This person has been such a wonderful friend to me over the years, and especially after my diagnosis and throughout my treatment. Always checking in on me and making sure I was OK. Always encouraging me and reminding me that I was kicking a**. She and I go way back. She knew me when I was a spitfire, and it was good to have someone reminding me of that girl. She listened to me complain about having no hair, no eyebrows, no eyelashes. She told me I was awesome anyway.

One day, about half way through my treatment, I received one of her emails asking if I needed anything. I must have been feeling punchy that day (I’m never like that... ha!), and I replied “Yes! I need a manicure, pedicure, a $50 Starbucks card, some red wine, dark chocolates and a weekend in Sun Valley.” She knew I was being sarcastic. But just after I finished up my treatment she showed up in my office with ALL of those things. I had forgotten about that email, because I certainly wasn’t being serious when I wrote it! But she tucked it in her back pocket and surprised me.

I could not believe it.

I could not believe her generosity. 

So, in September, Tim and I went to SV for the weekend and had the most beautiful time. It was perfect. 

I will never forget all that she has done for me. She has one if the biggest hearts of anyone I’ve ever known, and I am so lucky to have her as a friend.

So when she asked if I could take some pictures, I was ecstatic! I just hope they are as pleased (and I think they are!) with the pictures as I am. These two love their boys more than anything in the world. You can see it! And they are some of the best moms I know! What lucky boys, and what an amazing family.

Enjoy this sneak peek.
