What I love about Facebook is it has allowed me to get back in touch with friends which I may have never talked to again. Facebook has also opened my photography business to clients who are friends from my past. That is what Facebook allowed for Rachel and me.
Let’s start from the beginning. From the time I was five years old I had a pair of figure skates on my feet. I trained at a high competitive level until I had to retire at 14 because of an illness. When I was in my 20’s I tried my hand at coaching ice skating.
On the bulletin board of the rink was a posting for “extreme” skating for the Mighty Ducks. Long story short, I showed up and got the job. That job turned into a permanent job as one of the “cheerleaders” for the Mighty Ducks.
This is when I met Rachel. She was one of the Mighty Ducks girls and the only one who could skate besides me.
After two hockey seasons with the Ducks and two baseball seasons with the Angels, Rachel and I went our separate ways. Now 10 years later we found each other on Facebook.
When Rachel said she wanted to “trash” the first thing I thought of was at an ice rink. Rachel jumped right on board. What could be a cooler way to “trash” then on the ice, embodying her inner hockey player and climbing on a zamboni!
This was one of those shoots that I could not narrow down the photos I wanted to use. So sit back, curl up with a warm blanket because you are about to go into a photoshoot that is ice cold!
Rachel, I had such a ball shooting you.
You rocked this concept!
How our lives have changed!
Each married, each with 3 boys.
Below is a little walk down memory lane for you.
Can everyone find me?
