I didn’t realize I was driving with the radio off until halfway home from Mankato. This is so unlike me (I love me some good driving tunes), but I found myself recapping Mankato times instead.

I thought about move-in weekends, barbeques, late night swims, hammerschlagen, Christmas parties, New Years parties, Halloween parties, NUMEROUS card games, the many meals from Chipotle, and the many lazy Sundays. It made me realize just how much fun I’ve truly had with Taylors’ roommates — and all the memories that I’ll be keeping ‘til the end.

I obviously loved my own college experience, but to observe and get to know Taylor’s college life was at times equally awesome. His roommates really have always been the bomb, and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced a moment when I felt unwelcomed. If I hadn’t gotten to know Taylor’s friends over the past three years, I would have missed out on hours upon hours of stomach clenching laughter, and that would have been a COMPLETE AND UTTER SHAME.

I snapped a few of the boys before this years’ annual ugly-sweater Christmas party. Even though next weekend marks their last day in the house together, I hope the tradition continues.

How Scotty’s drink did not spill here — I have no clue.

As promised, here is part II of Kait’s photo shoot. See part I here. Kait knocked out a darker, more edgy look for this shoot and it looked FIERCE. I had so much fun shooting it!

I wanted to post part I + II of this photo-shoot together, but I just couldn’t help myself.  You may recognize Kaitlyn from my senior project, when she so beautifully choreographed and danced for one of my music video productions. As a model, Kait asked if I would help update her portfolio with both rural and urban photography. Taken at my parent’s home, here is a peek of part I {the rural photo-shoot}. Stay tuned for part II.
