Dani & Crystal’s Birthday Session | Valley Forge National Park
Because turning 40 with your best friend calls for McDonald’s fries, a bottle of wine, and a fierce game of Sorry!
When Crystal and Dani reached out to book a birthday shoot to celebrate their 40th birthdays together, we knew it was going to be fun. But we had no idea just how much personality, laughter, and creativity they were going to bring to the day — and honestly? It was iconic.
These two met at work years ago and instantly clicked — the kind of "we’re going to be best friends forever, whether we like it or not" kind of connection. Fast forward to now, and their friendship has grown into something truly beautiful. They've been through everything together, and they still make time for wine nights, inside jokes, and check-ins that feel like therapy sessions and comedy shows.
And let’s talk about this shoot.
Crystal and Dani didn’t just show up — they showed out. They brought their favorite things to the session, turning it into a full-on celebration of who they are: McDonald’s fries and cheeseburgers — because some cravings are lifelong, and nothing says “comfort food” like a golden arches run with your bestie. The game Sorry! — a nod to all the competitive game nights over the years. We got shots of them mid-game, mid-trash talk, and fully in their element. Let’s just say… no actual apologies were made. Wine — naturally. Because what’s a milestone birthday without a toast (or two) to all the memories made and the ones still to come?
Crystal & Dani, you make 40 look amazing. Thank you for letting us capture your love for life, for each other, and for McNuggets. We can’t wait to see these images light up your birthday bash this summer!
Happy Birthday, ladies — and cheers to fries, wine, friendship, and four fabulous decades
