The pervasive power of friendship is one aspect of my life where I am continually amazed. What I have done to deserve the incredible friends who have either come into my life for a mere time, or have endured throughout the years, I can not say. All I know for certain is that I am wildly grateful and blessed to have a few people who have seen my "ugly cry" and love me anyway. I reflect on this because "Girl's Weekend, Boston 2010" allowed me to think about my own girlfriends even more. The shoot was an amazing opportunity to be a voyeur amongst a fabulous group of women who have been the best of friends practically since birth. Once a year these ladies make it a point to put their friendship first and choose a weekend to get together. This year was BOSTON!!! They've also created a "sisterhood of the traveling scrapbook" as such, and each get together is well documented with lasting memories for years to come!
It was clear from the moment I arrived that this was going to be a terrific afternoon and Megan, Andrea, Amanda and Anne did not disappoint. They were up for anything and everything and even "got their sass" on for a few shots just for fun. Not a harsh word amongst them, they simply laughed and worked it for the camera all afternoon.
In the 20 some odd years they've been friends there have been way more ups than downs and it is absolutely clear how much love, admiration, and respect they have for each other. And of course the day wouldn't be complete without a rousing round of Croc-a-dill-e-o-ma...just look, you'll see...
"dress up"
This is the "sass" I was talking about...
Personally... I call this game "Down By The Banks." Apparently, there are a variety of names!
