Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Allison is my best friend from high school. We lost touch for a few years, but when we found each other on classmates.com again it was like we were never apart!
She and Jared are high school sweethearts! They have been married for 6 years now! Wow! She has been wanting to get some recent portraits taken so of course she called me! 🙂
I headed out to their place in Temecula. We started at the Redhawk golf course to take photos in front of the pretty waterfall – which wasn’t turned on that day!!! Oops. We went to our back up location – Wine Country. Our first stop was South Coast Winery and then on to Wilson Creek for some chocolate port! Yum!
It was great to spend some time with them…Allie just opened a clothing boutique in Murrieta called Colette and its been keeping her pretty busy!
Thanks for sharing your story about reconnecting with your best friend through Classmates.com. Your photos of Allie and Jared are beautiful!
We are always glad to hear about people reconnecting with friends and acquaintances from kindergarten, grade school, junior high, high school, college, work and the military. Since we have more than 40 million adult members with real names, not screeen names, it’s easier than ever to find out what people are up to and reconnect.
We love your photos!
Best regards,
