My freshman year of college, I went half way across the country to go to school. I didn’t know a single person, so I was really nervous to meet my roommate. Nikki and I hit it off right away. We grew apart as the year went on, forced in to different social circles. But I feel very lucky now that we have kept in touch all these years and she is still in my life.

Nikki married her college sweetheart, Matt. This past June, they created their own little miracle, Adeline. What an adorable baby! She loved the camera and was so expressive! I can’t wait to shoot her 1 year old photos next June when I get back to Illinois!

I think this may be my favorite shot of the day:

It was so great to see you Nikki, and your wonderful family!
