Best friends...

Someone who keeps your secrets, always has a listening ear, who cries with you when your heart hurts, who laughs with you until your sides burst, and encourages you to be a better you.

Someone you may not always see eye-to-eye with or completely agree, but who stands up for you when you haven't the strength to do so yourself. True friends may not necessarily tell you what you want to hear, but tell you what you need to know, and love you for all your uniqueness.

Alyssa and Jessi are best friends forever. They are tight, almost inseparable. They met in middle school in a bible study, and now in their senior year spend hours together encouraging each other's dreams and talents. One spends her days dreaming of music and dance, effortlessly scoring college scholarships, and working in overseas missions. One dreams of becoming a human rights lawyer, excelling at softball and soccer, dreaming of visiting Egypt(her favorite place in the world).They both dream of a loving husband someday, a house full of kids and strengthening their faith in God.

I am so encouraged that at this time in their lives they seem so fully engaged with the world's needs, where they will be used and what directions they will take in life. They pray that "...the world would not be so cynical, but more loving, and less selfish. People just need to be loved."

I agree... thank you Jessi and Alyssa. I loved the secret place we stumbled upon to shoot your session. You guys were up for "anything" and you were terrific with my insane ideas! You made this shoot for me so much fun! I wish I could show the entire session right here, including all those crazy things we did... it was a day of perfect light, awesome friends, and precious memories.
