Have you ever walked through different stores and seen certain outfits that just remind you of certain people.  My sister and I would always roam around Macy’s, pairing certain pantsuits to different women in our church! haha That was our way of killing time while momma was in the dressing room! It is so funny how certain things just remind us of certain people. There are so many things that remind me of Britney.  Whether it’s walking down Broadway in NYC or looking at fancy journals in Barnes and Noble, Britney always comes to mind. She’s so incredibly unique.  I’ve just loved “figuring” her out the last two years of living with her.  She’s so passionate about so many things and It’s so fun to see her get excited about the little things in life!

.

For instance, Britney LOVES anything that is old fashioned and has a hint of theater!  We were sitting on my bed one night, look through my never ending list of blogs I like to keep up with and we found a session that had an old fashion, 1950’s theme.  As soon as I saw this shoot I thought to myself, “this is soooo Britney”! She would love this! I showed her and we immediately starting planning her session!

.

After an incredibly stressful week full of papers and extended stays at the library, it was so much fun to walk around with Steph and Brit and just take pics all afternoon! Steph was our visionary assistant and Britney was our beautiful model! Seriously, she’s gorgeous! That’s why I couldn’t pick my favorites and I’m blogging over 30 images! haha So please enjoy! I really love doing roomate shoots and getting to try out new poses and techniques! It helps me learn so so much!  Thanks Britfit for being willing to be my model! You’re beautiful and I love you to death! !
