I have known Holly technically for 20 some odd years. We went to the same high school and because I was a year older, she would jokingly (and lovingly) refer to me as “Mom”. I am a devoted military wife and mom and have realized that life passes by in the blink of an eye. I have been happily married for 11 years with two beautiful children. I wanted to do something special for my husband who is currently in Afghanistan.
When I was in my 20′s I didn’t need pictures because I was still “HOT” (lol). And in my early 30′s I was raising my kids… but as 40 is quickly approaching I want to do something for me and my husband. I contacted Holly and after she set up the shoot I asked myself what in the heck did I just do? I have to admit as the day approached I was starting to get nervous and thinking about the disaster that had taken place with having two children within two years and what it had done to my body. I made appointments to have my hair and makeup done and as that was happening, I was starting to get really excited. I realized that I didn’t look so bad and cleaned up quite well. ;)
I met up with Holly and it felt like 20 years had never passed. This kind of thing was so out of character for me but I decided to jump in with both feet. Holly was so professional and not once did I feel like an old tired haggard mom! She made me feel like I did when I was 20 and that I still had it going on. I can’t thank Holly enough for her talent and her kind words. After the shoot I was driving home and thought of all the other things that I could have done or maybe cut loose a little more. I feel like a million dollars and realize that it doesn’t matter how big or small you are, as long as you are happy with yourself everyone is beautiful.
Thank you a million times Holly. Love ya. K
Thank YOU my friend. I can’t wait to share more of your beauty with you and the world. But that will have to wait until a special someone overseas, comes home. xo
Remember this is a surprise, so shhhh….
