This past week I drove down and over (about 8 hours) to Billings to pick up my friend Kenzie. She just got home from a 4 month stay in Italy for school and flew into Billings. So Emma and I took the perfect opportunity for a quick little road trip!  It was such a gorgeous day! Any day the sun comes out is a good day when you’ve had Winter for more than 8 months…yucky.  We enjoyed the drive down, reading stories out loud and singing our hearts out, and the growing anticipation that I was about to see one of my best friends after so long.  This past January I went to Big Sky, MT for a photography workshop and made some amazing friends, and my bed mate Jacque lives in Billings. She is so sweet to let Emma and I crash at her place. I’m bummed our trip was just for one night, it would have been fun to keep hanging out, but I guess the late night hot tubbin’ and chit chatting will have to work for now! The next day we did a photo swap. As photographers we realize how awkward and intimidating it is to be on the other side of the camera, and we rarely get the chance to have our own picture taken! Seriously, I think the last time I had my picture taken professionally I was 13…and I’m a photographer!!! That’s not ok. Jacque said she felt awkward, but I don’t think so. She’s a natural in front of the camera…obviously, just take a look at how fabulous she looks!

Jacque, it was so much fun to hang out with you again, I hope to see you again soon!!

Jacque’s beautiful baby boy, Baer!!

Emma actually took that picture of Baer…she was entertaining him with my camera while Jacque was photographing me. It’s way too cute not to share!! Thanks Emma!!
