Caitlin, Ashley and I joined forces one last time to photograph another important part of their life- running. They both had done their research and when we initially met to create a vision for their session they brought in clipped magazine ads from Runners World. If there is one thing I can't get enough of it's gathering inspiration! My work space is ALWAYS littered with bits of photos, colors and writing that I find inspirational. How terrific to have collaborated with you both! Thank you for choosing me to document your life in this way, it was truly an honor!

Ashley and Caitlin share many loves. It was hard for me to miss the flash of excitement that came over their faces when our conversation turned towards ice cream. There were no doubts that including their favorite treat was a MUST. Now my newest dilemma was to decide which local ice cream shop to shoot at. I did the only thing any reasonable girl would do in such a situation- I sampled ice cream!! (I'm convinced ice cream aides my creativity... and please don't tell me otherwise!) We were incredibly lucky to find that Sweet CeCe's opened late this summer. The owners are so fabulous!! I can't even count all the sweet things they did to make the girls' images flawless, thank you!!

Thoughtful, calculated and a well spoken communicator, Caitlin had won me over before we even met. She and Ashley both have a distinct charm and charisma that translated well into photos. Each girl has a slightly different view of fashion and how it suits them. I love this because it means each portion of their session took on a new style and setting, which captured the different facets of their personalities. Wanting to highlight her elegance and ladylike poise, the Botanical Gardens seemed to be a complimentary fit. We even talked Ashley into posing in the last few shots which are some of my favorites.
