This February I traveled to my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri to reunite with some of my closest, dearest friends.\u00a0 One of those gals was my high school classmate<\/a> Lauren- also known by her Korean name Haein. Lauren and I hadn’t seen each other in more than six years, but it was so easy to pick up where we left off.\u00a0 We spent an entire day talking about faith, our relationships, Myers-Brigg personality tests, and our various adventures abroad (check out Lauren’s blog<\/a> from her time spent in Korea).\u00a0 We also had time to squeeze in a mini photo session with Lauren’s long-term boyfriend David.<\/p>\n I had heard a lot about David, but it was fun to be able to meet him and shoot with this unique couple.\u00a0 Even though they have dated for about a year-and-a-half, for the majority of their relationship they have lived in different countries:\u00a0 Lauren in Korea and David in China (or America).\u00a0 Lauren recently returned from her time abroad as an English teacher, and she and David now have had to learn how to be a couple in the same city. I loved seeing their deep appreciation for one another’s presence, since it was still a newfound thing and not taken for granted by either of them.<\/p>\n There’s nothing I love more than photographing close friends.\u00a0 Not only are those images cherished by them, but they become a part of my own personal history, tokens of my meandering journey throughout this life. Lauren and David, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your story and have a random adventure in St. Louis.\u00a0 La, it was such a joy to catch up with you after all these years. Your depth, honesty, and humor lifted me out of my February blues.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Love you so much!<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This February I traveled to my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri to reunite with some of my closest, dearest friends.\u00a0 One of those gals was my high school classmate Lauren- also known by her Korean name Haein.
