Everyday ~ April 26, 2010
Tis the season for roommate/friend pictures! It’s just that time of year. My dear sister asked me a few months ago if she could bring ALL of her roommates down for a visit! … I thought this was a bit strange but then she asked “and can you take roommate pics?!!!” . Ahh, it all made sense now! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED it. These girls are incredible. I couldn’t be happier for Emy and her new house full of amazing friends. I secretly get a little sentimental when I see them together for two reasons. One, it reminds me of my house of girls! We’re sharing our last week together this week and I can’t help but tear up when I think of the amazing memories we’ve made together. The second reason I get a little emotional watching Emy and her friends is because I prayed so much for her during her freshman year. Virginia Tech is an incredibly overwhelming school and all I wanted was for Emy to find amazing girlfriends like I had found at CNU. Well, the Lord always knows what He’s doing and Emy is living with 5 fabulous girls next year! It’s going to be one CRAZY house!!!
Enjoy their roommate session in Hilton Village!
Haha! And theres a little bush I liked.
And then we found a little friend!Yay! A jumping picture! Love you girls!

Heather S: ( April 26, 2010 10:35 pm ) I love the jumping picture, as well as the one with the dog (and the one right behind it); the light in those pictures is so awesome, and its just such a classy photo! Love it!
Jan: ( April 26, 2010 9:44 pm ) Emy, I never would have recognized you in those TALL shoes had it not been for the little scribble on your foot. I would have guessed the more sensible gold sandals. Katelyn, beautiful as always!!
Mark Brooke Photographers: ( April 26, 2010 8:55 pm ) I love the shoe shot! Very fun!
Lauren W: ( April 26, 2010 7:39 pm ) That jumping picture is the same exact spot Megen and I took our jumping picture! and some of the same locations for our shoot- glad to see you used them again. Amazing group shots! love them :)
Jessica Beale: ( April 26, 2010 6:53 pm ) As if she doesn't already do it enough, I would like to bring a little attention to our friend, "Willa Willis". Can we first please notice her face in the picture with the puppy? And secondly, can we please take a moment to observe that she successfully threw up the deuces in the last picture. Reasons 4,908 and 4,909 why I love her. These are so great, KK...as if you're capable of producing anything less than superb!!! Love you!
Anna: ( April 26, 2010 6:27 pm ) These are really good! And I love the shoe shot as well... Emy, I'm impressed with your HIGH heels :) And like others have mentioned, I hope you don't get in trouble for that tattoo! You might die from that.
Girish: ( April 26, 2010 6:20 pm ) Brilliant ! Simply brilliant shots. Fun group this. I hope your sister (don't know which one) has a great time ahead. Wonderful single portrait or head shots. The last shot is too good.
Elise: ( April 26, 2010 5:40 pm ) Katelyn you are awesome!!! This was so much fun and I'm so excited for these pictures in our house next year!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!
Diana Cox: ( April 26, 2010 5:38 pm ) Katelyn, your sister and her friends are so adorable! The Tech jerseys were such a cute idea!

Brittany: ( April 26, 2010 4:59 pm ) I LOVE these!! Makes me wish I had thought about it when I had roommates!
Terresa: ( April 26, 2010 4:54 pm ) Ahhh…so fun! What a blessing for them to have these pictures now and to look back at when they graduate! p.s. great pics, as always! :)
Susan Maier: ( April 26, 2010 4:20 pm ) Great pictures!! I love all the bright colored scarves and tops. FYI- the bush.... is a Sedum Autumn Joy. It is a perennial (it comes back every year) flower that blooms in the fall.
Julianna: ( April 26, 2010 3:50 pm ) Yay!!! They're awesome! Katelyn, you're so talented. Ladies... how awesome is it that we have a picture with a chocolate lab?.... Foreshadowing, anyone??? Haha
Alex: ( April 26, 2010 3:28 pm ) three random things i love about this that made me laugh: the bush, the possibility of a special someone seeing em's tattoo and britne's face in the last picture! ha oooh and the puppy, everyone looks so happy in that picture. im so excited!!! Thanks Katelyn =]
Tina: ( April 26, 2010 3:12 pm ) What a hot group of girls! Man, this makes me MISS college like no other! I so wish I would have done something like this with my roommates when I was in school. So fun:)
