This week we celebrated Valentines day and it made me reflect on friendships. It could be because I received some portraits that Chance and I had taken last fall from a friend. It could also be because three of my closest photography friends helped me out last Friday night photographing a gymnastics center. Or it could be because of all of the comments that friends have made on the portrait that I got after it was posted on Facebook. Whichever of the above it was, I am truly thankful for all of the friends that I have made over the years. A few years ago, after Facebook got us all reconnected, we had a reunion with all of the people that I went to photography school with. It was amazing how close we all are still after all of these years of not seeing each other, we seemed to pick up right were we left off. Friendships are such a treasure both in our private lives as well as our professional lives. I always know that if needed they are there for me and me for them and for that I am truly thankful. The biggest friendship that I am thankful for is for my best friend, the one that works beside me every day and married me almost 25 years ago.
