This fall we got a chance to take family pictures with Joy Cannis.  She is so fun, sweet, and crazy talented!  We actually had a blast taking pictures with her, and she just made the entire experience so memorable and entertaining.  I really treasure these pictures that capture this short season of life.  I love having little kids, and often wish that I could just freeze time and keep them young for just a little bit longer.  They are growing up so quickly, and I’m so very grateful that I get to be along for the ride and watch them mature and grow into the women that God made them to be.

Here are just a few of my favorite pictures.

Our little daredevil! She would love for us to spend all day throwing her up in the air, or swinging her as high as we can.

Daddy’s girl…and his “mini me”

This sweet child just melts me.

My “mini me”

This pic perfectly captures the fun and trust that these two share.

You can tell she’s “up to something” behind that grin and that is SO Paige!

I can’t look at this picture without laughing.

My people, my loves.

This melts my heart.

Baby’s 1st chocolate cake…she loved it!

She has been a super sweet cat, and a fun addition to the family. She even really likes being with the kids and will often lay down with them during the quiet moments.  I think she especially likes Audrey because she’s responsible for feeding Karen.
