This family is beautiful, vibrant and full of little feet pattering around the house. Janel called to do a 7 month portrait of Isabel, but I convinced her to do some family stuff too. My favorite thing about this family, is their honesty. Blunt, raw real people living life. Blessings on your growing family , with many more days full of laughter and little feet.

When I arrived, she was getting a bath.....






um, shall we say.... hilarious?





Aiden was not so into the photo taking .

This could be my favorite of the day. I love how it captures exactly where their family is at. Earring pulling, 3 year old man handling. Love it.



Thank you Toals for letting me spend time with your incredibly special family. It was truly a privilege and a very special morning for me.
