“Wherever we are, it is our friends that make our world.” No matter your age, your closest friends are an extension of yourself. For as long as I can remember, my best friends have always been such an integral part of my life. I love looking back and thinking about all the fun memories we’ve had, and pulling out old photographs of us is just part of that fun and joy! For as long as I can recall, I’ve been wanting to make these “Best Friend/BFF Sessions” a part of my photography. And, finally, I’m making it happen!

Best friend photography is such a fun idea! And, what a great gift idea for friends for a birthday present or graduation gift! The possibilities are endless. It’s just a time to get together with your best friend to laugh, be silly and capture a moment in time with your BFF,or Best Friend 4 Ever!

These two cuties are my daughter and her lifelong friend, Ellie Grace! Thank goodness these two love each other so much-since their mommas are besties, too, they didn’t have much of a choice! 🙂 I have an amazing friend who let me use her “white room” that I’ve also been dying to photograph, so this was a fun day for me!

Consider choosing a BFF Session  in 2016! This one was a simple mini session and we accomplished this session in about 15 minutes. But, we can do a full session, too! The possibilities are endless: mothers&daughters, sisters, groups of friends wanting a photo shoot together before they head off to college, etc. The only limit here is your imagination. These sessions can happen at any location, too! I’m so excited and hope to see BFF Sessions as a regular thing for 1:17 Photography!

And, now…two pieces of my heart. My Ellie Grace and Isabella-BFF’s!

Reunited…

January 5, 2016

Pure JOY!! Loved this time with this family right before Christmas. Gray and Sawyer’s Daddy is in the National Guard, and is stationed away from home for the last several months and into 2016 as well. It was a joyous and magical time for them all when they could spend 10 days together over the Holidays. I had to cancel on their Mini Session back in October after I broke my ankle and at that time it was going to be just the 3 girls. This worked out so much better because Daddy got to join in. So grateful that it all worked out! So thankful for families like this that sacrifice for my freedoms!

Oh these sweet boys! I always just love photographing in Arlington Town Square and when you add this ridiculously photogenic family into the mix, it’s a real winner! Love, love, love watching these boys grow up before my lens year-after-year. 🙂

Almost 3 years old, I can barely believe it! I love this session and these precious photos of beautiful Molly Kate in her Mommy’s vintage dresses. So sweet to think about her Mommy wearing these dresses many years ago! Thanks for always sharing your family with me Erika!

The entire family came along for Hallie’s big day documenting her two-year-old birthday. Isn’t she just beautiful and adorable? Such a wonderful session. Always love being with this sweet family!

Welcome, Macy Kate!

This family is so adorable and they are all in love with their sweet new girl! Macy Kate was a delight to photograph and gave me the best snuggles, aka my favorite part of the shoot! Beautiful home, beautiful family, and gorgeous baby girl. Congratulations to my sweet friends! I am so happy for you and for Macy Kate to have such a wonderful family in which to grow up!
