Alicia is a very dear friend of mine dating back to preschool when I was rocking a broken arm and a boyish hair cut. My main memory of her is her curly long hair swaying side to side on the big wheel in front of me as we rode around the playground. We managed to get even closer in the past few years and I know she will be a cherished friend for a lifetime. Her pregnancy was such an exciting time and I was thrilled to be able to photograph her in her last few weeks.
