Elise + Liz…{BFF’S}

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous” – Coco Chanel

In the history of Best Friends I think I found the two 21 years olds who invented the catch phrase BFF. We have all had a best friend at some point or another in life..who feels closer than family, who in some way..completes us. Whether its in first grade, high school, your 30′s or 90′s… that ONE person  who completely “gets you”  who sees your soul and the face without the makeup and loves you all the same. Friendship is made up of many things… uncontrollable laughter…trust, clothes swapping,boy talk, mascara sharing…encouragement, secrets, dreams…it lends a shoulder and ear when  in need..and sometimes nudges us to be better person, even when we don’t feel like we can. Im so blessed to have had 27 years of perhaps some of the greatest friendships imaginable.. and spending the day with Liz and Elise  truly reminded me how fun GIRL TIME is…

I have known these two for about a year now…I did an ultra sassy shoot with Elise last year, and we decided that since these two are moving to Hawaii together in the next few months for the ultimate adventure …it seemed appropriate to celebrate this season of their lives…with dress up, tractors, and lemonade. Elise and Liz met in high school and are truly each others counterpart. One picks up where the other leaves off..and they define the word inseparable. As I sat in the backseat of Elises car on the way to the shoot…listening to Lady Gaga, eying her pink Juicy Couture sticker on the rear view mirror, and listening to BFF stories from two of most adorable 21 years olds on the planet…I thought Hmmmm..who wants to dress up with me and take pictures…??? To all my friends who have walked through life with me..past, present, and even for a season..thank you for being part of my story….Love you madly and am so grateful for you:)…Here is a glimpse into the never dull and always fabulous friendship of Elise and Liz….XOXO…
