Well these faces are most definitely not new to this blog. They are the focus of many updates and happen to be some of my most favorite faces in the world. This session was one that I have been looking forward to for a long time and it did not disappoint. I could not wait to capture the unique personalities that make up this family that I know oh so well and love with my whole heart.
What a great looking family! They were so easy to capture - I have so many favorites from this session that it was hard to pick the ones to blog about!
"Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk" (Susan Scarf Merrell)
"Brother's and sisters are as close as hands and feet"
(I couldn't resist this one - it is just simply classic)
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow." (Mary Anne Radmacher)
This boy is filled with more courage than he will ever know.
"While we try to teach our children about life, our children teach us what life is all about."
Her beauty is so special because it radiates from the inside out.
"Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see."
So true to who my favorite 5 year old is at this time in his life!
"For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow."
"We loved with a love that was more than love." (Edgar Allan Poe)
I absolutely love this shot - almost as much as this boy loves his mommy.
Taking a moment for a water break... Who doesn't love a good water spigot!
"A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope & promise of the future."
There is no love more beautiful than that between a daddy and his daughter
"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the Impossible."
These boys do love their momma!
"Ohana means family - no one gets left behind and no one is ever forgotten" (Lilo & Stitch)
Of course no photo session is complete without a little pouting...
However, I don't think cuter pouters exist!
"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty."
"I cannot forget my mother. She is my bridge. When I needed to get across, she steadied herself long enough for me to run across safely."
"You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes."
Like father, like son. This apple does not fall far from the tree.
Another couple of favorites from the day... who am I kidding, I love all of these shots!
"Dad, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever."
"It's not flesh and blood, but heart; which makes us fathers & sons."
"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
