Thatchers and Thatchers... I love lovey cousins

Both of these families are good friends of ours. The boys work with Ross and we all go to church together, serve in our church callings together, work out at the gym together...... and sometimes even do stuff by CHOICE together. ;) We really should more often, since there are few things more entertaining than a whole buncha Thatchers.

Taking pictures of people I know well always inspires a strange mixture of emotion for me--- I'm much more comfortable, since they know me, and yet much more nervous, since they know me. Thanks for the patience Thatcher-Thatchers.

Sweet Baby Van

Baby of the darling Nate and Syd... and future friend to Finn. What's 9 months in the scheme of things?

A Gorgeous Family in Jewel Tones....

I shot this lovely family last year. It's always so fun to compare and see how much the kids have grown and changed! If only Liya knew me from way back then and didn't run from me, ha Seena? :)

Carman and Tony

This is the sister of Karen, whose engagement photos I took last year. I don't think I've ever had anyone leap frog before or after Karen and Albert. But I guess it just felt like I should keep it in the family and try it one more time.

Carman and Tony were visiting from Hong Kong and our first attempt at pictures got rained out so we had to squeeze this in right before they left town. I'm so glad we did... they were such a fun couple! And could she have any more of a doll face? GORGEOUS.
