love for a mother...

My sister-in-law, Charlise asked me over to her families family home evening on Sunday night to take some pictures of her family for a Christmas letter/card her mom was working on-so I took some shots and arranged them on a collage for her. But while I was there I snapped this photo of one of her sisters being kissed by all three of her boys-what a priceless picture...

and this is the collage that I put together for them...

Kirkman Family-the whole gang:)

This family is so FUN!!! I went down on their farm for this photo shoot-and what great places there are on a farm to take fun pictures! I spent a few hours with them and let me tell you...I love these people. Thanks for allowing me to capture your family and families and also thanks for the patience in "waiting" since I took this photo shoot I have had sick kids-so thank you for your patience:)

"Becca"

Becca turned one in July and we finally found a time to get together and take her birthday photos...this was a fun shoot. Her family owns their own farm and so we went on the farm and explored all the great places to take photos-thanks for having me on the farm:)

grandparents

Mike's grandparents celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this last week. I hope Mike and I live long enough to see that number:) anyways...

I was so honored to go to their home and take updated photos. We had so much fun shooting these and it was a blast to see them together like this. In one of the photos I told grandpa to look at grandma and remember why he fell in love with her...and his reply was...gee that was a long time ago! and then after the "kissing" photos, grandma said...that was fun, we should do that more often...

Happy Anniversary grandma and grandpa...I Love You, thank you for letting me be part of your special day:)
