I have been photographing these three since they were infants. Their mom is giving them an amazing gift of documenting their growth and changes each and every year. What I love most is the images that reflect the kids' love, humor and connectedness they share with each other. The moments are fleeting and evolve as they age and I love that they will have images to cherish the spontaneous hugs, laughter and love they shared together.

Looking at these images really reminds me to be grateful the twists and turns in my life brought me to be a photographer.  This really has nothing to do w/ these specific images, but with the people captured in them.  I met their mother when she attended one of my workshops.  As she was leaving the half day event we struck up a conversation.  Truth be told, I had been dreading that Saturday morning workshop as it approached.  I really just wanted to have a day off from work and spend it with my family.  But as soon as this mother departed (after our 45 minute conversation), I remember immediately telling my husband that leading the workshop was worth it because I got to meet such a great person that day.
Almost five years have passed since that day and I was so excited we were able to find time to photograph her family for a second time (here is the first).  I have grown to love this family so much.  They have become friends that I cherish.  If I hadn't been a photographer, I would have missed out on the good fortune of having these friends that make me laugh, help me learn and inspire me to do more.
My favorite part of this sitting was capturing the strong bonds of love this family so openly share with each other.
