meet the robisons.

This is the Robison family. I have a hard time explaining just how good they have been to Dave and I. We lived in their basement for years, almost rent free, when we had 3 small kids and money was tight. Crystal and I talked every single day. We relied on eachother a lot. Alex and Ben were best pals. Eventually their house got too cramped. They let us live in another home they owned up on Grandview. Again, almost rent free. Jeff seemed to know when we were having a particularly tough month, and wouldn't accept our check. They have given and given and FORgiven. They are some of the kindest and most selfless people I know. This is THEIR orchard.

beauties.

Gorgeous kids! I had never met these cute people until the night of our shoot. We had a blast though. They were so great to work with...I could have gone on for another hour had the light permitted. :) Yup...we went to the orchard again. People LOVE it there. As a matter of fact, my next post is at the orchard too...with the owners. :)

the reed family.

Carrie (one of my very oldest BFF's) and her family. It's a rare thing when her husband Dave will allow his picture to be taken. Good thing it was birthday time for Carrie. :) These kids are so great. The kind that you can babysit and not even know they are there. They're smart. They're nice. They're good. Glad they're my friends.

macy and mama.

This is Macy and her beautiful mommy, Michelle. Michelle has lost over 20 lbs recently. I know she will never post pictures of just her, so I'M doing it. So all of you can see how great she looks and how hard she's worked. And Macy...she is just a little ball of yum. I love her.
