 My favorite memory with Kylee is watching the bachelor while she folded laundry! I love that we can doing normal things together like that and have the best time! haha A close second is her “grand entrance” on the dance floor! I love that Kylee has the biggest heart. She is always so willing to jump in and serve. I wouldn’t have any of those fun memories from my bday if it weren’t for her! She is always there to bounce ideas off with and to be a listening ear. I am so grateful for our friendship!

I love that Kylee is so kind. She is one of those rare people that make you feel better about yourself by just being around her. It’s hard to find those people and harder to be one of those people!I love how helpful she is. I love what a fun mom she is to her kids. My favorite memory with her was when I rode up to tony grove with her. It’s not a secret that I like to talk. I seriously could talk to Kylee all day. It was so much fun and MUCH needed adult time away from my kids. And to watch the great Kylee Ann take pictures? I was in heaven. I’m grateful that Kylee is such a wonderful friend. And all my talking hasn’t scared off. I always thought photographers didn’t help each other and it was a man eat man sort of profession but she has shown me how being loving and helpful to others only makes you a better business. Knowing Kylee has made me a better person and a better photographer. I’m truly so grateful to call her my friend. And that our kids get along so good so we have more reason to hang out! Happy birthday Kylee!!
