So here are a few abstract pictures that I like.

This is the face we usually get.  Only with it comes a squeal.  Uber cute.

Pure sugar.

 
  I just love this photograph of Olive.  It is right out of the camera, but I thought I would still put it up.  It is late evening before bed, and I can just feel the stillness.  This is what is great about always having a camera around. The greatest pictures just happen right in front of you and in that moment you just reach over and snap, you have it forever.

Kari is such a great mom.  Her boys are the love of her life!  You can tell in all the photographs that she is so loving and tender, and has a great sense of humor with them.

It is also such a testimony to see Godly men leading their homes with gentleness.  I can say this because this family is very dear to mine and we see their lives lived out in front of us.

Feet, Feet, Feet.  what more can I say, I love little feet.

 Britta, you can tell each dogie has their own personality as well.  Britta was a rescued dog, which makes me so happy she is in such a loving home.

I usually like the odd photos, this photo speaks to me.  I just love the feeling I get when I look at this.

yes, loves to be on the phone.

Thanks Cook family, for allowing me into your beautiful and welcoming space.
 

Yes, I finally sat my own children down for a photo.  They are such good kids...of course I did have to promise them M & M's if they would just hold still and hold Hazel with strong arms instead of silly wiggly arms, which was way more fun of course...we have those photos also.

My man Ethan, 7 years old.  Always the one to crack me up, I hope that never stops. 

Olive 4 years, she is my sugar and spice girl. 

Hazie Gray (as we like to call her) is the worlds most chill baby.  Thanks to my friend and I praying for a chill baby, all I can say is HE HEARS OUR PRAYERS.  She is our delight. 

It was such a treat to photograph a family reunion.  And what a great idea.  You are all there as a family and why not document it.  The Atkins family (and many others) were all so warm and loving it was a joy watching them interact.  I hope to do more of this, it is a reminder how important we all are to one another.

This photo is the matriarch and all of her grandchildren.  How wonderful that from one comes many.   What a legacy.

You can tell little boys just want to run and play instead of lie down in the grass and look cute...we did get a lot of him just running and playing, but this still photo is so special, what a doll.

Someone asked him if he had a girlfriend...this was his response...how cute.

There is nothing like mom to kiss all the tears away.
   

Baby Jacob is an amazingly good baby.  He had traveled up from Colombia SC helped his auntie move all day and then was in good spirits to be photographed.  I just love the little personality babies are born with that makes photographing them such a delight.  Thanks for hanging with me Jacob and family.
