Here’s a family that we absolutely, from the bottom of our hearts, adore. Faye and I have been email buddies for a number of years… as she’s a photographer in Dayton. :)
I couldn’t have BEEN more excited to photograph her family. She’s beautiful inside and out! Oh, and the freckles are a TOTAL bonus.
…not to mention that her family is perfect! Andy is the nicest of the nice. And Evie… ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!?! She’s the kind of kid that makes me want one for myself! AHHHHH!!!! SHE’S SO DAMN CUTE! My favorite

At first glance you’d think that Evie (pronounced EE-vee) looks identical to her dad. I thought so too until I was being a creeper on Facebook and ran across a photo of Faye as a baby. Uhm, yeah… as my G-mom would say, “There’s no denyin’ who her mama is!”
However that mouth… that’s all Andy!
This baby melts me!!!!!

This age is my favorite to photograph

“Hey! That’s my headband!”
Hmm… wonder where she learned this trick?! Being that these two images were taken within 20 seconds of each other… and the one on the right was taken first… I’d say it’s a clue! 

Much love friends!

Ian and Matthew are really smart, really competitive and really fun. They are going to be incredibly wealthy inventors someday… mark my words.
Such a fantastic family. If Mike and I have kids, we’re calling Amanda and Mike and asking for advice on how to make my kids both full of personality and really well behaved. Those are usually not two traits that go hand-in-hand. High fives friends… HIGH FIVES! By the way, from some angles Mike (dad) looks like John Lennon.
Mike’s favorite
This is the photo that will be Ian and Matthew’s favorite someday. It so well represents this time in their world.


Ian, the photographer.
Here are his results…





AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! She is squishiest and softest baby in all the land!





Andrea, you’re gorgeous.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
