I've known Ashley and Allison since we were almost 13 (our birthdays are two days apart). When I moved to Mankato, MN in seventh grade they were part of my close group of friends. As the years went on, we all moved, grew up, and have kept in touch as adults. We all have families.
Ashley, Allison, and, their younger sister, Amanda were visiting their family in Alexandria, MN in early September. Since we usually have 5 hour plus of drive time between us, the little town in Central Minnesota doesn't seem as far as the usual distance. We set up a photography shoot that worked out well for everyone.
I'm thankful that you were able to all make it for your family's photographs. Family photography shoots are worth scheduling together because the photographs show the physical memory of someone when they're no longer physically here to provide new memories.
Thank you for letting me photograph your family,
-Desiree
