This month, our oldest daughter Hope turned 9. She is compassionate and wise beyond her years. Truly beautiful inside and out. In a large family with 4 kids, we want to make sure that we spend time with each of our children individually. That we invest in knowing who they are and what matters to them. That we take the time to love them well… the way that they best receive love (which is completely different for all of them). For Hope, this is quality time and physical touch. Her love tank is completely filled up when she can get away to a coffee shop with one of us for a card game session or just sit on the couch being close to us. All of our kids are special in their own way, but she is is the one that made us parents. Life before Hope seems so far away (like a weird dream) because my life was exponentially better the day she came into it. Now that she is getting older and changing so fast, I wanted get her out for some pictures of just her. So we can remember exactly who she is today. We have been too blessed and life is too short to not put just as much love and time into documenting our family and our memories as we do everyone else’s. I am looking forward to getting all the kids out for individual sessions as they get older. But for now…This is Hope.

I love Hope and I love/hate how grown she looks! Thank you for making me an auntie for the first time too. : ) Hope and Owen will forever dominate my walls since they were the first babies. Love you all!

So beautiful and inspiring.

Thanks Benj! Why document only the 12th grade year when you can document all of them?! I am super excited to look back at these over the years. They change so fast!

this is so rad. I love that you guys basically just did a real session with her!
