Chris + Amber | Averill Park, NY

This is a special one!

I met these sweet friends of mine in the fall of 2013 at a cookout in Nashville Tennessee. They were newlyweds and we were only about two and a half years into our marriage. We only lived in TN together for a short time, but this friendship has stood the test of time and distance. Chris and Amber moved away first to Missouri and then Illinois. We followed suit about a year later when we moved back to Upstate, NY in the fall of 2016.

We have made the 1,000 mile roadtrip to each other’s homes many times over the last 7 years. When Amber texted me and said she needed a “soul friend” visit ASAP in the middle of the summer last year, I was all in. Three weeks later they rolled into our driveway for three magical days together!

We spent some of that time in my hometown taking these photos for their ten year anniversary! Amber told me she was interested in a waterfall session and I knew just the place; my old stomping ground where we used to swim in the summertime when I was a kid.

What joy to have these two as my friends and to fall right back into the rhythm of life as soon as we’re together.

Cheers friends,
Madaline
