There are a few things that automatically make me think of Jenny Shifler. 1. Guitar Hero. 2. Margaritas. and 3. Hawaii.     Hawaii? Really?! Yeah. She was planning a trip there last year that got cancelled. I was super bummed for her. I know, kinda random, but I really wanted to hide in her suitcase for that trip!!!

I’ve know Jenny for almost two years now. She is actually the person who set up the Ashleigh Schwindt Photography fan page on Facebook. I would have never done that on my own, but she believed in me, and it got over 100 fans in no time. We now have almost 800 fans, and I have Jenny to thank for starting that for me. Actually, she’s spread the ASP name around so much, I should just hire her as my marketing director/agent/manager!! Jenny and I met at church, connected through Facebook, and I ended up taking picture of her kids for a Father’s Day present last year. I’ve been wanting to take Jenny’s picture since then, and FINALLY, after over a YEAR, she agreed to it.

And dang, doesn’t she look GOOOOD!??!?!?!?!?

As I was editing these, with each one I was like, “Wow, Jenny Shifler is hott!’, ‘Jenny’s got sass!’, ‘Dang, Look at that look she gave the camera!!’, ‘Kris is gonna like that picture!’”

So plus 1!  After waiting forever to take her picture, I finally got her in front of the camera. Another plus 1 for the pictures being absolutely AMAZING! Seriously, doesn’t Jenny look fantastic in every single one of these pictures?!?!

But what puts the icing on the cake, the ‘plus 1 infinity’, is that Jenny Shifler is one of the greatest friends I’ve ever known. She’s sweet and kind with a kick of spunk and sass, and I just love her. There aren’t many people you come across in a lifetime that it just feels normal to be around them. And Jenny Shifler is one of those people for me. I can’t even describe how comfortable and relaxed I am around her. She just eases tension and brings peace to me. I can be in a room full of strangers or stressful situations, but if Jenny is there, I feel better. Last year when taking picture of her coworkers, I was super anxious, and Jenny helped me get through that. She made me breathe, be calm, and reminded me that I am a photographer and I could do it. When placed in a room full of stressful people, Jenny can always lighten the mood and make me smile or laugh. We think alike and even think alike as to how we don’t think alike. (trust me, that makes sense) We can talk to each other with ease because we understand each other’s thought process.  It just makes sense. And Jenny Shifler sends me the most hilarious most entertaining DM’s on Twitter ever! Everyone needs a Jenny Shifler in their life, and I am lucky to have already found mine.

Jenny is one of those people whom I always want in my life. I love her and she will always be very special to me. And c’mon, you gotta be one of a kind to be married to Kris Shifler.
