I’d be here at my computer until tomorrow if you asked me to list all the things I love about my photo BFF, Betsy King. She’s a busy mama of an adorable tot with another one on the way, so it’s not always easy for us to get together. Which is probably why, when we do get together, our banter could be fodder for an episode of the “Gilmore Girls.”
For real, I didn’t think it was possible to talk that fast with someone. But when the pair of us meet up, I feel like the day starts with us wanting to synchronize our watches with a “Okay, we’ve got four hours together to get everything we want to talk about in …, get ready, set, GO!” So it never fails that after a day spent with Betsy, I’m spent. But in the ABSOLUTE best way possible. Because for however many hours I get to be with her, I’m all in. There’s a lot of us finishing one another’s sentences, starting a topic only to circle back to it an hour later and talking over each other, but it’s a dialogue we’ve grown fondly accustomed to and our conversations — hurried though they may be — always leave me on the drive back to Muncie feeling oh so happy.
And of course, when two photographers get together, you KNOW there’s gonna be some photo-takin’ involved! So here’s what we came up with in the 10 minutes we busted out some new gear, hopped back in the car four times to warm our fingers, and braved some Fort Wayne traffic to feel the satisfaction of that shutter clicking away once more. Folks, is it summer yet? I.AM.OVER.THIS.COLD.WEATHER.
And a few that Betsy snapped of me 
Oh, and, well …. I couldn’t drop a “Gilmore Girls” reference without, you know, spending 20 minutes on YouTube watching old “Gilmore Girl” clips (come on, I’m not the only one who does this, right? I swear, one day a couple weeks ago someone Tweeted about “The O.C.” and suddenly I found myself spending my lunch hour reliving my college years and watching the first half of the first episode online. I’m so silly…). So, here’s a snippet from one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I keep my fingers crossed for that movie that may come ’round
