I love it when I do shoots for people I know. I get to tell a lil story. Well, here is one big one, ready? Here goes. The first day in Florida, I was fresh blood, not just to mosquitoes, but to everyone. Erin and I walked in with her parents to our new dorm, ready to decorate. Hours later, we walked out to the halls of second floor Hinely. Kara Foster and Tiff Sharp were one of the first girls we saw. Mr. Paul (Erin's dad) gave us this talk (that I will never forget by the way) about how we should be friendly with everyone who walks our way. Well, here walks two BEAUTIFUL girls, talk about intimidated. We said our hellos and introduced ourselves. Gradually, we became good friends.... I found out later from Kara that they thought I was stuck up 'What?! NO!!!! I was just shy!' Come to find out, these girls were the most thoughtful girls I know. Tiff, (pictures below) was SSOOO thoughtful that when she got appendicitis (sorry if that wasn't what you had, bad memory) she stole a bunch of hospital gloves from the hospital, blew them up, threw a bunch around the dorm halls, and sent me one in the 'college' mail with a sweet note about how much she appreciated our friendship. On a blown up stolen latex glove. How kind. I was later pinned for many pranks pulled by Kara and her, thanks guys. So, many years later (won't tell how many) she got married and happened to have two kiddos. No big deal. These kids definitely have her spunk that is for sure. I never told her this BUT I was more than excited to do a lil photo shoot for them, even with the 'active' Braden...can we say Tiff reincarnate:)? Here is a preview.
