# 3 "FRIENDS" FAMILY
Real roommates & friends.
Family # 3 is a family of friends; 3 roommates, 2 friends.
This “family” is a group of
20-something year old roommates and close friends (who might live across the hall) that share an apartment and daily life.
They are diverse in race and gender, (mixed race, LGBTQ friendly) and have a very modern and hip vibe about them.
They may or may not be the best cooks, but they know how to have fun while trying!
Moments should be happy and fun, but still beautiful. Not at all silly.
