Professional portraits of me: CHECK!
How fabulous are these? I figured it was about time to have some professional portraits taken of me for the biz. And there was no one else I wanted to do them than my dear friend, Jaime Smith with JS Photography. Jaime and I go way back. WAAAY back. We met in elementary school and have been friends ever since. And no matter how long it's been between seeing or talking to each other, it's as though we were just together. I have some pics to prove just how long we've known each other. I brought these pics with me to my shoot and Jaime scanned them in. (I'm just using her files since my scanner isn't working.)
So here we are in 1st grade at some performance where we were dressed up as hula girls. How cute are we? I guess we were pretending to do the hula, but we look like we aren't quite getting it. What's up with the stiff arms???
Fast forward several years and here we are on our senior year spring break -- Crescent Beach in 1994. Oh what a week of fun that was! Just like Jaime said in her blog about this picture... you think you're fat then and look back and realize that you really didn't look too bad at all! I mean, HELLO! I don't see any cellulite on that hiney!!! I would totally lose the hat though. But that's another story all together! Like our round wire-rimmed shades? I'm tellin' ya! We were hot tamales! :)
I LOVE this next one! How crazy that we were taking pictures of each other and here we are today in the photography business! Jaime has the same picture of me, but wasn't able to find it. Still... there's proof we were photo nerds even on our spring break! :)
Now we are married with kids and still in touch. Like I said, I can't imagine asking anyone else to photograph me for this new part of my life. Jaime has been through plenty of others, it just makes sense for her to be a part of this one too. We had so much fun driving around Green Cove Springs together and taking all these shots. She is so very talented (as you can see!) and such a cool chick!
Jaime, thank you so much for photographing me for my new venture! You did an amazing job! What's that saying? You have to stay friends because you know too much about each other? Oh, the stories we could share with our grandkids one day! XOXO
