This family is dear to our hearts. They are our neighbors and we have seen their boys (all 5!!!) grow up. They are good people and I was honored that they asked me to shoot them. 

Those boys definitely have a special connection with each other, and it was exciting to see. 

But my favorite thing to watch is their mom. She is a dear friend and I admire her so much for how she is as a person and how she is as a mother to those boys. 

At one point during the shoot I watched her watching her boys...her face had so much joy and happiness seeing all her boys together, perhaps only another mother could recognize that joy.

 The leaves were a beautiful golden yellow. It was a great shoot!
