and try to tell me you are not immediately pulled in by the tractor beams of her eyes… huh?

i took some of these back with some old school workings…

her youngest boy was a natural with the camera. at one point, we told him to not focus on the camera as much, but some of these really worked.

it was really refreshing to see how helpful the kids were with each other and witness their love for each other.

many photographers can attest to the workout some sessions with kids can be, chasing them around most of the time. when she decided to sit down, i wasn’t exactly rushing her to stand up and get on the move again.   :)

and a little ode to the mama that is well loved.

it was such a pleasure to meet all of her kids for the first time. i have to say, it was clear that they will grow up to be just older versions of their already outstanding selves. i hope we get to do it all over again some time!
