Ben and Laurilee were married last summer and I enjoyed being their wedding photographer. Her brother returned from an LDS mission recently, so this was the first time they are all together {minus the wedding photos} for a family photo.

Natasha is one of my dear friends who two years ago was diagnosed with breast cancer. . . just after our photo session. She has fought hard and is still in the midst of her treatments. I love her sweet family who always make me smile. S with her darling smile and E with his "chanler bing" smile and sweet R who has grown up so much in the past couple of years.

I found out after our session that it was Shawn's birthday! His friends were setting up a surprise party while we were doing photos!

Such a fun family! We enjoyed an almost fall evening. . . though the wind decided to intrrupt at times. Such fun to see the cute cousins enjoy each other.

One son set to leave for the summer and another newly engaged, this fun family's dynamics are quickly changing. They were so fun together. Sweet little E has the most darling little smile and truly enjoys being the only little one in the family-- We truly had a great time enjoying what was likely one of the last cool evenings before the long Arizona summer.
