So it would seem that my friends are growing up…getting married (sometimes even secretly), having babies, buying houses, renovating houses and the list goes on and on and on.   I feel like a proud “momma”.  I raised my friends proper! Ok, well I had nothing to do with it,  other then every once in a while throw them some sage advice that I’m sure went in one ear and out the other.  Cause well that’s what friends do.  We chat, we drink, we laugh, we share happy stories, horror stories, we advise and sometimes we just listen.  I have good friends.   So when my friends get married, I will most probably politely decline their invitation to photograph their wedding…cause really if I’m being invited to the wedding, I want to PARTY!  BUT when my friends have babies, I will most probably, politely beg for the chance to photograph their newborn.  And I don’t give up til they say YES!

So when I got the phone call from Justin that he and his wife Lisa were expecting, I incessantly nattered at him to let me photograph the baby girl when she arrived! So as good friends do for each other, Justin handed me over to the more capable hands of his wife Lisa who thankfully agreed! 🙂  And even though this baby girl made me work my butt off as most babies do (seriously Lisa, that’s the truth!), I hope I did her justice…cause really she is a DOLL!
