So, as of this month, it will be five looong years since I graduated from college. Muhlenberg College to be exact. Actually, those five long years have just about flown by and I can’t believe I’m that far out of college. Blink and you’d miss it. On some nice spring days I still feel like I should be heading over to Parent’s Plaza to meet the girls or cruising around Allentown. :-) Classy…

Anywho…this ever important anniversary has made me a bit sentimental for those less stressful days. Something about college…there were just more hours of fun and excitement in a day I think. So I thought it would be cool to share some of my photo 1 experiments in the studio doing portraits of my college friends (don’t judge too harshly…ha ha). Honestly though…these are still some of my favorite photos that I’ve ever taken because they totally take me back.

~~Note…I stole some of these from frames and all over…so forgive the ratty edges.

Incidentally…in these photos you are looking at a current photographer (Lauri), doctor (Rebecca), psychologist (Kira) and veterinarian (Becky). Crazy! I’m so proud of my friends! :-)

This was definitely my first experience of really enjoying photographing people and finding it rewarding. I think that’s mostly because it was just people having fun and getting their photo taken. Can’t beat it with a stick! ha ha.

Mmm…and can’t do a ‘5 years since graduation…sigh’ post without a little cap and gown action.

I hope this trip down memory lane wasn’t too boring, but a little nostalgia never hurt anyone. :-)
