What can I say? I adore this family! Kristina and I met before our oldest boys were even walking, and we have walked through numerous ups and downs since our friendship began, until they moved across the country a few years ago. Our similarities help us navigate tricky circumstances together, and our differences help us grow stronger. And she has the most beautiful family!!

Meet Tristan, Izak, Sylas and Jasper. Four of the most charming boys you'll ever meet, with incredible parents shepherding them each step of the way. Tristan is thoughtful, intelligent and a caring older brother, Izak is loving, sensitive and empathetic, Sylas is silly, sweet and active, and Jasper has all the attitude a red-headed two year old should have!

Kristina and I were dreaming up this shoot many months before it happened, and spent way too much time scouring Etsy and messaging each other on Facebook about accessories before we narrowed down the perfect attire for everyone. This session also happened the day after Kristina and Ricky's vow renewal ceremony, so it made for an incredibly busy weekend for everyone! This little collection of photos didn't take too long for us to shoot, since it was 90˚ in the shade and corralling four boys, no matter what the weather, left us all sweating by the end of it.

I am so excited to show you the product of all our dreaming, and this beautiful Mama Hen with all her boys. She and her husband have been greatly blessed and it was a blessing to ME to capture this snippet of their lives!
