Shane & Ericka || Family Photographer

It's Monday and I'm excited to post this gorgeous family to start the week off right! 

I have just loved showing off how beautiful and fun my dad's side of the family is with these group and individual family pictures!

Today I am posting the family photos of my cousin Shane and his family. Shane is in the U.S. Coast Guard, Ericka is an amazing mom and Malachi is a very handsome and adventurous little boy! It's not often that we get to see these three all together so when we found out they would all be at the reunion we were all beyond excited! It was so much fun catching up with Shane and much more fun getting to see how his little family has grown.

I feel like I have a small tie to this family because a little over year ago Ericka came to visit and needed a babysitter for about a week while she took some classes. My husband and I were very excited to help and got to hang out with their son Malachi for almost a whole week, night and day!! It was the funnest week! We took him on walks, to the park, the community pool, chased ducks and so many more fun things! When the week came to an end we were very surprised to see how sad we were to see him go. Shane and Ericka are raising an amazing little man we had so much fun getting to know him and in turn learning more about his amazing parents!

I am so happy that I was able to take their pictures and I look forward to hanging out with them again soon!

Meet Caleb and Palmyra and their three handsome boys! It has been so much fun watching their family grow through the years. Caleb and Palmyra make such a cute couple and even cuter parents. They have very adventurous boys that keep them on their toes but somehow they still manage to keep their cool. It is so much fun watching and learning from them every time I see them. One day I hope to be as cool as they are! :)

 I wish I had more time one on one with this family because they were all so picture perfect. The first picture that I put up makes me laugh so hard because it just shows these two little boys personalities and thoughts about taking pictures! 

These two cute boys started out like this ... taking pictures on a hot day was the last thing they wanted to do. 

... But once I got big brother Alex on my side, it was magic!

(I love little Jakey's face as he looks up to his older brother for what he should do next, so cute!)

This group makes me smile from ear to ear!! I can't believe how big this family has grown through the years. These are the sweetest people you will ever get the chance to meet and if you already know them, then you can count yourself very blessed!

This day was a hectic and very hot day. My sweet Aunt asked me to take a group photo of her whole family because this was probably the one time they would have everyone together. I am so grateful that I had this opportunity! They are all some of my favorite people and to have them ask me means a lot! I love all of these wonderful people and look forward to seeing them again soon!
