birthday.

It's Stef's birthday today so I wanted to make sure that I got these pictures posted for her! I had such a fun time with Stef and her little family. When I arrived we started off chatting. We had already talked about some fun ideas I had from reading their questionnaire, I always like hanging out a little before I start shooting.

It's so obvious how much everyone in this family loves each other. They were so excited to get to be together and it shows. Stefanie's husband Jerry plays chess with his kids...four games at once! He does it for a challenge, going from game to game making his moves. The kids love it! Each member of this sweet little family cares about all the others and there is such a spirit of love, fun, and acceptance in their home. It was a blessing to be with them.

We played with the horses, climbed mounds of dirt, sat by Grandma's roses, baked cookies, and read scriptures. Also, Sarah loves to have her hair played with...just like me. I can feel that look of being in heaven on her face.

Thank you, Stef, for letting me come and spend time with your family.

I miss you...Have a fabulous birthday!

sweet. LIFE.
