Photography, if only I had some talent...

Katie Smith and I were inseparable. We were always together at school, at her house, at my house, in the car, at the mall, at the movie...you name it Katie and I did it together. In high school Katie was a great friend. Sure we had our fights, but most of the time we were together laughing and talking. Katie understood me like no one else did and I understood her. I remember there was this boy in high school that essentially dumped me and I felt embarrassed and stupid. The next day Katie gave me a sympathy card. It was so hysterical, it made me laugh and instantly changed my mood, she always knew exactly what to do to lift my spirit.



After high school we kept in touch, but slowly drifted apart. We lived hundreds of miles away from each other which proved to make it hard to be friends. But we always contacted each other from time to time to check in. Our connection proved to be unchanged when we both found out we were pregnant with boys that were due 3 days apart. God has a crazy way of bringing people together, doesn't he?

Katie and I all got to see each other the other night. Rhiannon, another great friend from High School and I drove to Conifer to see Katie. It was a fabulous time. Katie is an extremely talented photographer and it was such a blessing to see our boys together and for Katie to take some pictures of Matthew.

This is Thaddeus, Katie's little boy. What are they looking at? Hmmmm....

Now let me explain this next picture. Katie is working on building her photography portfolio, particularly her bridal pictures. So, she talked me in to putting on my 5 year old wedding dress and she took some pictures of me. I told her these pictures might ruin her portfolio, for I have NEVER been called photogenic, however I learned a good photographer can make anyone look good.
