Kelly is a fellow Northfield newcomer and new friend. During our first friend date she immediately felt like a kindred spirit. Hanging out with her family — Aaron and Mary Lou — was so relaxed and fun, it verified that she keeps good company, to boot.
We were graced with one last splendid, warm fall Saturday afternoon for this session. We grabbed some golden hour sunbeams — and perhaps a few burrs from the prairie grasses. They busted out a little dance party on the bridge (instigated by Kelly and Mary Lou), relived some wedding day geese scaring, and were overall so photogenic and wonderful our time together flew by. My only regret: that Mary Lou and I weren’t in fifth grade at the same time. We definitely would be been good friends, painting, drawing, making colleges and clay sculptures and Alllll the Crafts.
Between meeting folks like the Streets and how gorgeous Northfield is in the fall — and quite frankly, all year round — I’ve been feeling an even deeper sense of gratitude for the life we’re making here. Kelly, thanks for making this happen!
