But it&#8217;s only in the past 4 or so years we&#8217;ve become friends. She&#8217;s also one of my very favorite photographers, somebody who has influenced this business more than just about anyone. We have more than most in common. She&#8217;s the mother of two little kids, a girl and a boy. She&#8217;s\u00a0 in love with photography, in love with the Lord, and in love with her family. She&#8217;s also incredibly passionate about creating opportunities and preserving memories for her family. She&#8217;s just passionate in general. Passionate about life and about not compromising the things that truly matter. She&#8217;s such an inspiration. I could list the crazy amount of coincidental similarities between our lives, our likes, our decisions, our experiences. I could go on about all the ways that our heart-to-hearts have influenced me&#8230; as a business woman, a photographer, a mother. But I&#8217;d rather just say how grateful I am to know her. And even though we&#8217;re separated by states and don&#8217;t get to hang out and chat as often as we like (and it took us a quarter century to figure out we make great friends!), we&#8217;re there for each other across the miles. I&#8217;m blessed to share life with her, whenever and however our paths intersect in our separate and distanced lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And then, on top of everything else, she goes and lets me shoot a ridiculously fun, inspirational, messy, creative, action-packed, laughter-filled session like this. Double bonus. This is actually only the second half of their family session. I&#8217;m splitting it up into 2 posts because I&#8217;ve decided to indulge myself and share more than usual. I&#8217;ll let the photos do the rest of the talking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And for the record, before you ask&#8230; it&#8217;s called Holi Powder. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p
