this past weekend, i flew to vegas to photograph my best friend's new baby girl. we've been friends since 1999, when we were both active duty nurses in the air force. we went our separate ways in the military, in 2000, yet we have remained the best of friends even through the distance (she's now an air force spouse and i'm a navy spouse). it's amazing how some people come into your life and you just know you'll be friends forever...gwenn is one of those people. sometimes we don't talk for six months, but when we finally do talk, it's like we had talked just the day before. i'm so thankful for the amazing and honest friendships i have in my life today.
