You know when you meet someone and you just click?

It’s not always like this for me, but once in a while I am lucky, I mean really lucky, and meet someone who I just adore.

This is my best friend, Robin Walker. She thinks she’s pretty cool because she’s a nurse (and I agree with her, by the way).

 

Robin and I don’t really take pictures together that often.  Here’s why:

-We don’t live in the same city (about 2 hours apart, a little less if her husband is driving)

-When we do see each other we are typically laughing so much it’s hard to breathe, let alone focus a camera

-Neither of us is what I call “super model skinny”, so we occasionally (ok, often) just decide not to take the picture.

 

Here’s what I think about that:

 

Seriously. When I think of all the good times we’ve had that aren’t documented, it makes me feel just awful.  What am I going to tell my kids when they ask about my best friends? What if something happened to either one of us? How am I supposed to properly blackmail her?  Learn from my mistakes. Take the shameless selfies. I wish I had more.

 

I am not talking to you bikini-clad twenty year old, with the fierce six-pack (you take enough selfies, thank you)!

For everyone else who wishes they had just ONE amazing photo with their best friend, their mom, their sister, I offer you a little “extra love” in honor of my best friend:

 

 

Take time for your relationships.

-NO more putting it off till next time

-NO more waiting till you lose 5 pounds, or gain 5 pounds

-NO more worrying about your outfit , your hair, and your makeup

 

We are doing it ALL for you and you are walking away with a giftcard to Sephora on top of that.  We are coming to you, styling the shoot, and getting you all dolled up.  Do you really need another excuse for a Girl’s Day?  I promise you a fun time.  And, I also promise my camera & I will make you look [even more] fabulous than usual.
