Friends Forever

11/28/2017

I am so honored to have been asked to photograph this next group, and beyond excited to share the session with you! Just follow along, there's a bit of math involved in this one...

We start with these four college roommates...

Then add their awesome wives

Multiply by a few kids

(Jump around like crazy people to get said kids to sit together for a photo)

And you wind up with one amazing group of friends and surrogate cousins!

These four families travel from all over the south to be together once a year, and this year they allowed me to be a small part of their gathering!

Ok, now I'll break it down into families so it will all make sense :)

...and then we were done!

I seriously can't tell you how much you guys filled me with gratitude, hope, and joy. In a world that is trying to convince us that all good is lost, you remind us that there is plenty of good - in the hugs of just arriving friends, in the laughter of stories shared, in the smiles of growing kids, and in the sunshine of a beautiful day. Thank you so much for working to make love and friendship valuable, and thanks for letting me be a witness to it :)

He Ain't Heavy...

...he's my brother, baby.

For realz, this is my brother and his adorable family! I know you can see the exterior awesomeness, but this family is super awesome on the inside too! They are so loving, patient, faithful, gracious, compassionate, and intentional and I couldn't be more proud or grateful to call them mine <3

...I'm not crying...you're crying :)

Just go look at their photos already!

Is she not a life-sized precious moments doll?!

Patrick, I see the Grandad Brannon concentration tongue coming out!

Thanks for being you and letting me capture it! Excited to spend more time with you guys this month! XOXO

Extended family is SO important to me and I was honored to photography this sweet one recently! Enjoy these adult sisters, their parents, and families :)

I'm going to leave you with a few outtakes...when the clouds decide to deliver rain during your session, cool parents send the kids out to play in it, and cool photographers capture all the fun :)

Thanks so much for your flexibility and humor! I loved meeting more of your sweet family!

We had an amazing time when Santa stopped by Cloverleaf Farm! Jolly Old Saint Nick filled us with grins, giggles, stories, love, and hope! Enjoy getting yourself into the Christmas spirit!

One of my favorite things about fall is catching up with some of my favorite families! I've had the joy of watching this family grow for several years and they just keep getting sweeter and better looking! Enjoy this fun (and chilly!) family session!

Holden wanted to try his hand at photography - maybe you'll see him as my assistant at your next session :)

Thanks always for your love and support. It was so great to see you guys and the wonderful family you're raising up. Have a great holiday season! XOXO
