Uncomplicated

As we draw closer to December, all of our lives are about to get really complicated.  Complicated by holiday shopping, Christmas parties and cookie swaps, the frenzy of addressing cards, the stress that family gatherings bring and all of the mayhem of the season.  These beautiful images of the "R" family reminded me of just how simple life can and should be.  I did not have the pleasure of shooting this family myself as I am still recovering from surgery, but my friend, L, did a wonderful job of capturing the gentle, loving spirit of this family.  Can't you just feel it?  Don't you see the joy that these 4 people bring to one another's lives?  Doesn't it make you want to hug someone, dog gone it???  In the end, all we really need in this life is the simple gift of family.  People to love you, make you laugh, cook you a warm meal, dry your tears, celebrate your milestones and throw leaves in your hair during a family photo session.  Oh, and this little boy gets my "all-time best smoochie picture award".  Hands down.  Come on, could that little pucker be any sweeter?  Enjoy your sneak peek pics, "R" family, and thank you for revealing your uncomplicated love for each other through the lens of a camera.  I love my job.
