These wild and crazy folks are apart of my family. Yes my family. Their my cousins too!!! This is what I normally say when my husband and I debate about me calling them “my”cousins.lol “Only by marriage,” he would say. Oh well! These are my peeps and I love them. Very much. 
They have a lot of fight in them…literally as you will see.lol Any other family may have just fallen apart with the loss this family has faced, but instead of lying down and giving up…they persevere everyday. They are not perfect…oh and they will tell you that for sure! They love eachother and really show it in some crazy ways, but none the less the love is still there.
I already know the conversation they will have once they see these photos. I will fill you in on how well I know them. Mom will say “oh these are great! Awesome!” Dad will say “Woof!” he says that about all photos normally. RayRay the oldest sister will say “Oh my Gosh…my hair…oh my gosh…I look like such a dork…ugh!” Jordie my favorite (yes I fully believe in favoritism in families…just pick your favorite and let them all know) will say “Whatever…that’s cool.” Some how I am sure this will lead to some fight between the siblings and RayRay will inform everyone that her parents loved her longer then Jordie because she was the first born and blah blah blah. Alright that about sums it up for now. I also want to mention how much I appreciate the kind words and encouragement from Sherry. She always comments on my photos and pushes me to get out there and do my best. She is one of my biggest cheerleaders! Thanks Sherry. 
Well, this by far was the craziest shoot I have been on, but I got to make fun of my clients and laugh when they did dumb stuff…so that was pretty sweet! Don’t worry guys I didn’t quit photography over your session…but please never call me again. Thanks. On with the show….
