A Special Visit

Not many know this, but my senior year of high school, I lived with my best friend.  Her family took me in and treated me as their own child.  Although I have plenty of siblings, a little sister was something I didn't have.  Mari filled that position perfectly!  We had it all....we were BFF's and we got to live together.  We loved telling people the story just to see their reaction to our situation, my situation.  I must admit, it was pretty cool. 

Time has passed though and we're both married with children, and moved up and gone our own ways.  This last week she came home to visit family and friends.  With limited time in her schedule we decided to spend ours with a quick mini-shoot.  I think it was emotional for me since I hadn't seen her in awhile, it was the first time I ever got to meet her baby, and her husband was in uniform during this session.  I have such respect for any branch of the military for the things they do and the things they represent.  Overall, I think we were able to catch some great images their family will treasure for a long time.

Thank you Mari and Raul for the priviledge of being able to take your portraits.  I love that little American girl of yours!
