This family was the highlight of my week…so far. =) Their two little boys were absolutely darling, and the oldest tugged at my heart strings during our hour together. He reminded me so much of the little boy of Jerry Maguire, I can’t even explain his adorable little demeanor…
I came home and informed my boyfriend that if this child were up for adoption, we would now have 5 children between the two of us. ;) It’s not like we don’t already get the brady bunch comment enough already, what’s one more, right? ;) But, I think his parents would never actually go for the idea, so I settled for simply capturing him and his sweet brother and parents for the afternoon. And I love what we got…
and this little peanut was also equally adorable. He had the biggest little baby eyes and wasn’t quite sure whether to join us, or run! ;)
Thank you so much to this family for driving a few hours to come and spend time with me!! I loved every minute, and I’m always so grateful, truly, to capture memories for people. And usually these “people” become my friends. I can’t tell you how much I love documenting relationships and getting a glimpse into the lives of people who genuinely cherish and love each other. That was this family. =)
