Loving Arms and Sweet Smiles . . .

Special families are a delight to photograph, and this one was no exception.  I am late in getting many sessions on the blog, but I want you to see these awesome smiles.  You know it was a good 'shoot' when I can hear the laughter each time I see these photos!  When you put together a wonderful brother/sister team, add their sweet families, throw in a sunny day and a lake background . . . you're bound to capture sweet, sweet memories.  

It was an honor to record this time and place with them, and I hope these images serve as living reminders of 'the way it was' on a spring day in 2012.  Your love for each other is palpable!
