Crazy paradigm shifts happen when you reconnect with childhood best friends. You look at them like you're still talking to the kid you played with, but a double-take reminds you that they're...well...big...and all grown up. Crazy, but a blast to experience.
BeckyLynn and I were best friends in the 3rd and 4th grade, but she moved away to Florida after her 5th grade. We reconnected once in high school, but never saw each other again until now. Her mom invited me over for lunch and we ended up spending the rest of the afternoon out taking pictures and having fun catching up. It was just like, *click* and we just seemed to pick up right where we left off. Here are some from the day!
She was unafraid to try the "unsmiling Vogue shots," which was pretty awesome...
...But her bubbly-self always prevailed...
It was fun not taking ourselves seriously, haha.
And now for the Final Fotographer's Fave, picture if you will two girls wanting to take a picture together and no third hand to release a shutter. One is setting shot and focus, the other patiently waiting until the light of the timer is started. "K it's going." *Scuttle to place and get in position* ...timer blink. blink. blink. hold. "The light stopped! *counts* 1 - 2 - *hair flip*" "Did it work??"
....now picture it again and again and again for an hour until we got the one we were looking for :-P In that light, we were laughing non-stop as we were arranging this collage, realizing exactly how much ridiculous fun we went through. From the little back-story, I hope you look on the caption with humor. Maybe it's something you had to be there for, but it's okay, you can laugh at us. It was our intention :)
