I really do think my job is the coolest. This is the first family I ever had the chance to work with. At the time, there was Dad, Mom, and one, toddler, girl. They were expecting a new, baby boy, soon, too. They lived in a little house, in a little old neighborhood and they were just hoping to get a few family photos done–which was where I came in. I was just looking to start building a portfolio and they were happy to help. (Little did we know just how much they would help my portfolio grow. 😉 ) Every, single, year I get to go back. I’ve seen the move to the new, big, house, in the brand new neighborhood. I’ve watched that toddler girl grow, and that baby boy grow, and the littlest one come into the world, and grow as well. Dad, and mom though…well, they just stay as cute, goofy, and young as ever. (I’m serious. They, somehow, defy nature.)

Anyway…this slideshow are the shots from this year. Below, you’ll find photos from years past. Enjoy!

I’m not sure I’ve ever related to a mom trying to do the whole ‘nice family photo shoot’ thing more.

Things always seem to end up this way…all the big kids playing.

And…just because I love this kinda thing…here are some oldies–in comparison with the currents. 🙂 

These next photos are all five year comparisons. The little’s have have grown so much…but, are still so little. 🙂
