My Best Friend

This is my best friend, Ashley and she is THEE BEST friend!

I love her.

She was in my ward growing up, but we didn't start hanging out until we were laurels.

Once she graduated, a year after me, she moved in with me at Raintree!  We went sledding, had flour fights, chocolate fountain parties, friends marathons, late night trips to the hot pots and played the laughing game while working at Gandolfos together.

I met Kyle through her.

She moved to Hawaii with me that summer and we went on lots of adventures!

Swimming with sharks, cliff jumping, snorkeling and eating pineapple.

We both got married in 2011- to boys from high school :)

About the time Kyle and I were moving to Cedar City, she and Steven moved to Logan.  We were on opposite sides of the state, but it's also when we became the best of friends- still making time for birthday lunches.  And sleepovers!  Even AFTER having babies.

She threw both my bridal and baby showers and always knows the right time to send me notes in the mail.

She ran with me during my first 5k.

Then at the exact same time that we were both pregnant with our 2nd babies, we were also both moving back to Utah County.  So happy!

I have loved being able to spend more time with her these last few months.

We get together and can just talk for hours.  She gets me and it's so great that she's my person.

She's also been the biggest supporter of my photography business.  Her family was the last session I did in 2016 and now the first session of this new year as well!

Welcome to the world baby Hyde.

 Are they not ADORABLE?!

Thank you for letting me photograph your family and being my best friend Ashley!

Also, I think Fresh 48 sessions might be my new most favorite kind of session.
