I met Kristen my sophomore year of college at Bridgewater State University. She was a freshmen and we were introduced by my (super weird) roommate. We quickly became friends and had so many adventures. This was all the way back in 2011. I took off my senior year to move to D.C. and have my back surgeries done, and then transferred to Ohio State. I haven’t seen her since, but that didn’t stop us from picking up right where we left off. Enjoy some super old and slightly embarrassing photos from baby Arika and baby Kristen.

Kristen and Matt were coming up on their one year anniversary and I was dying to shoot on the beach while I was up in Boston. So I was so happy when they agreed to model for me! I mean how cute are they together!

Can you believe that, that is Kristen’s natural hair together. As long as I knew her she dyed her naturally grey hair, dark brown. She started to embrace her natural hair color and she looks absolutely stunning. Not to mention I know several people who spend the big bucks to get those grey locks.
