I had a lot of fun with this shoot! From the moment I climbed out of my truck these three little men made me feel like I was their favorite uncle! “Larry, watch this…” and “Look at me…” and “May I carry that for you?”. It’s probably been 8-10 years since I’ve seen Crystal last. It’s amazing how time changes things…and how some things never change. Crystal’s all grown up, and by my observation…a really fun grown-up! The boys love her and I can tell they mean the world to her. It was good to see you again Crystal! May our paths cross again…but perhaps sooner next time!

Not many words need to be said…the photos of this beautiful family speak for themselves! Meet Josh & Tricia and their three handsome men.

Meet the Mitchells! Corey’s an elder at our church and a walking encyclopedia!… just kidding! However, I know I won’t be playing Trivial Pursuit with him again anytime soon… unless I’m on his team! Sue and Corey are in the midst of adopting (from Rwanda I believe?). You can follow their journey here. Blessings to you Corey & Sue!

And one with Pop Pop…

There’s many things I love about my family… especially the repeat business!! They’ve been very supportive of me and my passion for photography… or perhaps they just want cheap photo and don’t have the nerve to tell me that I’m not that good!!

Jokes aside, they’ve been very encouraging and can’t exclaim enough how much I love them! Working in a family business together one would think we’d get sick of each other. On top of that… we even vacation together and haven’t killed each other yet! Well, some of the board games are pretty aggressive and we get darn near close! Stakes can also get pretty high during games of Texas Hold’em – gambeling birthrights and exclusivity on shares of the family business. Ok, perhaps I’m stretching the truth a bit!

Ken is my oldest brother and an avid outdoorsman. He’s also president of our family business, Weaver Companies, Inc. and works hard to keep the ship afloat! In this year of economic challenges and difficult business decisions, I have a lot of respect for what he does!

We’re eagerly anticipating the return of my 2nd oldest brother, Randy, and his family from serving 3 years in Guatemala with ORI. They move back home end of March. It’ll be nice to feel like a complete family again!

I posted my youngest brother’s family photos here a while back. Yes, if you’re counting, that makes 4 of us! He’s the Techie in the family. He keeps us all current with the latest gadgets and technology. Whenever there’s a problem… “ask Dale”! If you need his expertise, you can contact him here. I also just realized that I never posted their recent family photos! More to come of them.

Mom and Dad are spending the winter in Sarasota, FL (a.k.a. Lancaster County South). Karen and I are looking forward to spending a week with them later this month. Sunshine… here we come!!!

Enjoy a few shots of Ken and Nadine’s family…

Just spent Christmas and New Year at our family cabin near Raystown Lake. What a wonderful and special time it was. I absolutely loved hanging out with Karen’s family the first half of our vacation. Playing games…unwrapping gifts…eating! There’s nothing like spending Christmas with family who are also among your best friends! Thanks for a wonderful time guys!

After they left for home on Monday… Karen, the boys and I stayed up till Friday morning to ring in the New Year. After a busy year it was nice to just sit and relax for a few days. Spending some time reflecting, praying and seeking God for the coming year. I’m thankful for so much this past year. Especially for health and His provision. God has also stretched me in a lot of ways…getting me outside my comfort zone for sure! I’m excited about the possibilities this year holds…even with our present economy.

For those who haven’t received a Christmas Card from us… here’s one of us with our boys. Best wishes to everyone and may your year be richly blessed! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A lovely day for a walk in the park!

Meet my brother’s family…Ken & Nadine with Ashley, Savanna and Madison.

From all of us we wish you a merry Christmas! Blessings to you and yours as you celebrate the coming of our Savior…you know…God with skin on! My, how life would be different had it not been for that man. I would not have the HOPE and JOY that’s so real in me now. God has truly been good to me and my family! I thank God for all of you. Thanx to all who have shown an interest in my work (really…it feels more like playing cause I enjoy it so much!). BLESSINGS!

Full of spunk they are!  This has got to be my quickest photo shoot to date.  Twenty minutes and a full memory card later – we got a few in the bag.  After firing off 20-30 pics per setting, surely there ought to be one where everyone is looking (and smiling). 

You guys are blessed with a beautiful family!
