This family... I just LOVE them! As a teenager, I was one of their babysitters. I look at them now and am just in awe. They are growing up to be such incredible people, which isn't hard to believe, considering the parents they have. David and Elizabeth are some of my absolute favorite people. So generous, so fun, so focused on their family and each other. I was always so impressed that they made it such an important thing to go out every week on a date! Their kids were just as fun to be with, and are just beautiful. They were also some of my first little models. As I walked back into their lovely home, it was so fun to see pictures that I had taken in high school, all over their walls. I snapped a picture of one of the frames (no digital then, back in the days of the dark room)!
And here they are today. David and Elizabeth look exactly the same and the kids are so grown up! I loved that Elizabeth just wanted to do photos right on their front porch. I love to capture people how they really are, in their real lives. Again, I borrowed a camera, but when you have such a beautiful family to work with, it's hard to go wrong!
Had to include some outtakes! This family is just too fun! I mean, how many families do you know that have a pet alligator? Seriously.
David asked me if I could photoshop a bow on his head... just to match the new (male) puppy that just joined the family a few days before. He thought the girls might like it!
Hanging on the front door, is a homemade plaque that says, "Love is in this family."
It most certainly is.
