Month: December 2013

Sarah and Joe are raising three boys. Their world of climbing trees and building forts is totally foreign to me. I grew up in a house full of women. My three sisters and I wore dresses and hair bows and collected Barbies. It was a world of painted fingernails and ballet slippers where our prized possession was a two-story dollhouse.

One rainy morning in December I got a taste of what it’s like to be in a house full of boys. This family makes it look like a lot of fun.

When we had finished shooting pictures, the boys were treated to eggnog and waffles. When Sarah told them they could make whipped cream to go on top, I decided this breakfast had to be photographed. They were kind enough to let me stick around, and I’m so glad I did because these are some of my favorite pictures of my time with the Pays.

Life with two young girls is busy. Schedules are full and the days fly by. We had a quick window of time between the end of the school day and the winter sun’s early departure. In a short photo session, I got a pretty big picture of how sweet and silly and smart these two sisters are.

These two are a testament to the hard work their mama has done to raise them well.

I’m always so thankful for families who allow me to spend time with them.
