Family of "Joy"

Another day of beautiful weather--cloudy and sprinkled, but luckily did not rain on us. We had a cool breeze that we all enjoyed as we were walking around the large area by the dam.

I met Amy Joy and her kids at the Colver/Vetera Dam--a gorgeous spot that has a loading spot by the water, a few trees and flowers, and even an old barn that is perfect scenery for photos!

Three boys is a lot to handle, but I was up for the challenge. I consider myself a patient person and working around small kids a lot means it was no crazy thing to handle. I love seeing the dynamic relationships between the kids. Isaac the oldest was so helpful and polite, he enjoyed holding his younger brother who is less than a year old and did not mind cracking a smile for me. Blake was all smiles and couldn't wait to just run around by the water. And Grayson, the youngest, was a happy and patient baby sitting anywhere we put him. He was quite happy with the toys I brought him.

This family was a lot of fun, very patient, willing to try anything. What I loved most is the adventurous spirit--Isaac would climb trees and have me snap photos of him, they put each other on their shoulders, pulled out peace signs with their fingers, and we all enjoyed a lot of laughs as I watched them loosen up and show their personalities.

I am so glad I could capture these happy moments for you Amy and enjoyed working with you and meeting your family. I always say how honored I am when people let me into a little part of their lives, and this was no exception.
