nobody cooler

fourth of july, a camper, a hammock, hunting dogs, a swimming pool, and what seemed like a million barbies. life seemed magical to me at the eggen's house. i loved spending summer afternoons down the street with them. it seemed like a simpler time, and to us it was.

the girls came home to host the final Sandy Eggen memorial walk. their mom, who was kind of like a mom to every kid she ever met, fought breast cancer. she might not have won that fight, but her girls make sure people know how incredible she was. they honor her by funding scholarships. because this was the last walk it was bittersweet, but her foundation is going to continue to bless others, just like she did.

i loved that i got to spend an evening in lawrence photographing these girls i always thought so much of. they are so close and fun, i felt a lot like i did when i was 5, thinking there is nobody cooler.
