a summer night with the howards. . . .

These kids make my heart melt. Literally, my heart is a puddle. I love that every year I get to capture their new "poses" (Hallie's is hysterical this year) and their new smiles and yet their curious and kind little hearts remain the same.  Here are a few of my favorites. . .

Words can't express how much I love the momma of this family! This family moved into the Harmony community when little bit, Elaina, was in first grade.  I'm so thankful that she was placed in my class and in my care - I immediately fell in love with her and her sweet family!  Since that year Celeste has always been there for me, whether I needed a coffee or lunch or words of encouragement, she has always been there.  Coming from a family of five, I look at these photos and know these moments when the five siblings are all together are like heaven on earth.  Here are a few of my favorites. . .
