What a precious family. They are one of those families that you look at and think...how can one family always be that happy? But! I've worked with them for years now and know lots of people who know them and they all say the same thing. They are just always happy. How infectious to be around someone like that! It's beautiful. 

Their last session was when they were expecting their sweet little boy a little over a year ago. You can see it here... love them!

What a treat to meet this little girl!

I have to be honest....I was a little nervous to meet her at first. She has cerebral palsy and not having experience being around children with this condition, I wasn't sure what to expect. But now I know. I know to expect to smile so big it makes my face hurt (like the entire time that she's in my presence). I know to expect to leave with a heart so full it threatens bursting right out of my chest. 

I smiled for days after I met her. 

She made me laugh so hard just by telling me "boo", then asking me to tell her boo. I went straight home and told my husband and kids about her and enjoyed thinking about what blessing she is for the entire weekend. 

Sometimes life's most simple pleasures just fall right into our paths when we're least expecting them.

Just can't get tired of brothers and sisters being brothers and sisters. 

It's been years since I've had an opportunity to photograph this family. They were just as fun 

for this session as they were for our last. I love being able to grow with families and documenting their kids growing up. Just one of the many very cool aspects of what we do! :)

yep....Two of them actually! 

Meet my friend, Allison. We went to high school and graduated together. She's just as sweet and beautiful now as she was in school. Not to mention she's multiplied...she and her husband have made some gorgeous twin boys (whom she endearingly refers to as her "cubs or cubbies" <---so stinkin' cute). 

We went with her parents to a local farm and walked away with images that I would have killed to have when my twins were her boy's age. I love this session. Sweet, sweet, sweetness! 

The greatest thing I could tell you about Allison (besides the fact that she's a smokin' hot mama) is that her attitude is completely contagious! She has THE BEST attitude about being a mom, being hundreds of miles away from all of her family with 2 new babies and everything else under the sun.........babies getting bigger, changing stages, all the things in life that stress most people out and send them into a tizzy, she handles with beautiful finesse and let's it all just run off her back. So inspiring to be around. Grateful to have the opportunity to document her precious family and reconnect with her after all these years.
