I am so excited to share this shoot!   These are beautiful people and very very dear to my heart!   Even though this shoot was the one in which my beloved camera gave out on me, and we had to improvise with a couple different cameras, I am in love with how these pics turned out and how we were able to capture their family “essense”.

E and I go way back to 1st grade, I can say that she is my oldest friend that I am still in contact with.   20 something years later, 2 family moves across country later, 2 husbands and 6 kids (between us!) later…   and we are still going strong.   I admire E for the godly mom, wife and friend that she is, and I cherish our friendship so much.

Thank you guys for putting up with me and my camera issues, and for letting me into your world – not only for this photo shoot, but also through our friendship.  I’m glad that you could come enjoy dinner with us afterward (how I managed to get that on the table I’m still not quite sure) and am already looking forward to next time!   I hope you enjoy your sneak peak as much as I do

We’ll start it out with a fun family shot…   I love how Naomi’s squished in the middle.  Cute.
