I'm sitting here in her hospital room in the dark. The only light is that from my computer, and the only sound is from her finally sleeping soundly. I now have the time and the silence needed to write this post yet I'm struggling. It seems silly really. Why am I struggling about writing a post about my best friend? The truth is simple. I feel like no matter what I write, I will fail because I won't be able to paint the picture of just how wonderful Kirstynn really is. Truth be told...there are no words that could ever do my friend the justice that she truly deserves. Our friendship has definitely had it's fair share of ups and downs, but each experience has only helped shape the amazing relationship that we have today. Having a best friend is usually something you feel the need to hold onto forever, but in my case it's different. I don't have that need because I know it will always be there. Not that I take what we have for granted because I don't, I just know without a doubt that we were meant to be in each other's lives and what we have is solid and nothing can shake it. It's amazing to me that out of all of the people in this world, I was not only lucky enough to meet her but lucky enough to call her my best friend. What we have is rare and soulful. I have a piece of her soul and she has a piece of mine. She's my kindred spirit.
Kirstynn, thank you for being the most amazing friend that a girl could ever ask for. Thank you for laughing at my jokes when they aren't always funny. Thank you for being my cheerleader even when my ideas may seem a bit crazy. Thank you for knowing that I'm not ok even when I say I am and for being there even when I think I can deal with things on my own. Thank you for seeing things from my perspective even if they do seem a bit radical. Thank you for taking the time to know me, every part of me, sometimes even better than I know myself. Thank you for accepting me and making me feel like I'm one of the most important people in your world, but most importantly and I can't stress this enough, thank you for being you and thank you for being such a big part of me. You truly are a gift and I can't imagine my life without you. I love you!
I feel so honored that I was able to document such an amazing part of your life! Without further ado....The story of Miles Daniel Evans.

These are absolutely.... Words can't even describe how in love with these images I am. I don't think you missed any detail. From those d arn monster puppets, to me holding onto my lipgloss, and of course the labor queen sash and crown the nurses made for me. I am so blessed that I had you there. Thank you for spending the time on these. I feel your love that you put into each image. Thank you thank you thank you. I love you too!
Arghhhh, these make my uterus ache! All beautiful shoots in and of themselves, but presented together?? I'm at a loss for an appropriate adjective b.c. I think "amazing" is so overused :) but I'm thinking something even grander. Beautiful work and a beautiful new family. I really love the captures of the new baby w/ all the dr. & nurse hands all over! Congrats on a job very, very well done, Jennifer.
soo beautiful!! i love the pictures, love the people, love this life changing time of life... thanks for sharing!!!
My heart weeps with gratitude and humility. Only you, Jennifer could get this close in lense (as close as you are in heart) for this beautiful event. I think only an eternity of friendship can express true feelings. xox LuLu
