Joy is here ~ family photography

Joy is not in things; it is in us.

                                             -Richard Wagner

(one of my most favorite  shots this year) 

In the seasonal photos we are taking, this family has been such a joyful part of my life.
Every three months we are doing a new collection of family photos. The photo shoots have been
 so unique and really seem to capture each personality.

It is such a gift to see a beautiful family grow is such a sweet way!   

(See the summer collection: the field of dreams)

I can't wait to see what we do in the snow!

loving hearts ~ family photography

"A loving heart is the truest wisdom..."

It is always a gift to be the photographer of a large family.  

Seriously, I love it~  

This family is such a treasure to me.  Not only are they sweet, brilliant, and 

handsome (beauties, too) they have sheep.  You know me, that IS the greatest love (giggling).  

Such a fun evening, I hope we will do it again soon~
