The "L" Family

Yes -- I am out of the country, but have some 'down' time to share these pics that have been sitting on my computer for a while. Earlier this month I had the pleasure of meeting this little family who lives not too far from me. We met together for a late-afternoon session to make some photographs for the holidays. I love photos like the last one because time is so fleeting and before you know it, these young ones will be up to momma's shoulder, then her chin, then looking down on her from above! Never again will they be this size, this age. Thanks, Jennie, for letting me capture this moment for you!
