If two people were ever made for one another, it’s Kevan and Danielle.  Danielle and I have been friends for years and I have always loved and appreciated her sense of humor, goofiness, loudness (if you’ve ever been around me, you know I am SO loud when I’m having a good time).  Watching Kevan interact with her made me nothing but happy because they are so alike.  She would say something, he’d laugh out loud and vice versa.  The session was just a fun one filled with smiles, laughter and a lot of kisses because Danielle said she couldn’t help but kiss such an amazing guy.
