Mommy and I had been trying to schedule this session for a while, unfortunately she has a very demanding job and schedules were hard to coordinate. She’s a nurse! Finally we were able to get together and my only regret is I hadn’t met her and her family sooner!
They were such a delight to work with.
I’m not even going to say much as by these images you can see why I loved shooting everyone!
You can also tell who the boss is right?
and with so much love you can see…. they are an awesome family
Can’t wait to see this little one yearly and watch her grow!

I love how cute these kids are!
They each had their own personality and I loved hanging out with them!
I’ve known Debbie for so many years, and time goes so quick!
Imagine, we originally scheduled this session three years ago.. and with one thing or another (she lives a few hours away) she was finally able to coordinate all her kids schedules with hers ( and have the baby).
Watching her kids grow up is amazing
I can’t wait to see everyone again- hopefully sooner than three years !
