This is my WHY

Family is an amazing thing. These little groups of people that share their lives so closely - all the laughter, all the frustrations, all the mistakes and forgiveness, all the growth and all the joy. I believe with every piece of my heart that there is nothing that can bring more happiness than family.

And this is why I love to do this photography stuff!

Sometimes I think that we can get so caught up in the mundane - the running back and forth to school and work and ball practice, cleaning the bathrooms, the laundry laundry LAUNDRY - that we can miss how incredibly beautiful our families are.



This mom is so awesome! She totally "got it" - the whole "Just Be" philosophy (Tara Whitney - I want to be her when I grow up!)



I love that you can see how much fun they have together.



I love that you can see how crazy they are about each other.



And I love what you can see in those kids - their confidence and their spunk, maybe a little shyness. I hope that when Mom & Dad look at these five or twenty years down the road that they can remember them just how they are today.









Thanks guys so much! It was so fun to follow you around for awhile! I hope you love looking at these as much as I loved taking them!
