a couple of years ago, through the wonders of facebook, i was able to reconnect with one of my most very favorite high school girlfriends, keri. her older (but by just one year) sister mindy was my bff and we were pretty inseparable throughout all four years of high school. i’m pretty sure i slept at their house as much (if not more) than i slept at my own. we got into so much trouble together! oh my gosh, i’m giggling just thinking about it. anyway, we tried to keep in touch when i moved from st. louis to milwaukee but time got away from us. we found each other on facebook a couple of years ago and rekindled a wonderful friendship.
over memorial day, mark and i took the girls back to st louis for a graduation party and i was finally able to do a family portrait session for keri, benji and their five incredible children. we’ve visited often over the past two years but a session just didn’t work out until this trip.
(fair warning: there are a TON of images in this post!)
aren’t they such a beautiful family? their love and affection for each other is tangible and contagious.
