I love this family. I really, really, REALLY love this family. They are honestly some of my favorite people I've ever met. Whenever we're together I wonder why we don't play more often. And are they not just a stunning family? This mom, my dear friend, shares my love for photography, and she's a fabulous photographer. But that also means she's usually behind the camera, so I think it was about time SHE was photographed. Isn't she gorgeous?

It's always fun to photograph my friends, and especially a family that definitely knows how to play together. I think there is nothing more beautiful in this world than parents sincerely playing with their kids. Some of my most enjoyable moments as a photographer have been when the family plays together and I just disappear. And that's exactly what happened yesterday. These boys adore their mom and dad, and I hope these photos make that pretty obvious.

Thanks, guys! Let's PLEASE get together again soon. You're my favorite.
