a step back

I'm totally obsessed with silhouettes lately.  I feel like, in a way, it helps me take the focus off of all the little things I try to expect or anticipate in a photograph and it forces me to just take a step back and see. It is a fun new adventure for me and I couldn't get enough of it with this beautiful family.  I was so nervous, as usual, to do a session with a new family.  Even though they may be people I have known a long time, I still get unsure of how things will go.  But what I'm quickly realizing, is that a session never goes how I expect.  That is what I love about doing photography.  It is so unexpected and like a game to see what you end up with in the end.
These guys are in our ward.  I remember when Spencer returned home from his mission.  Marley was really little and she would always giggle and flirt with him.  I remember when he married Crystal and I thought he was such a lucky guy because she is gorgeous!  Now they have two beautiful children and I can hardly believe it.  Life goes so fast.
I really admire this cute lil family.  They are both in school at BYU, he just finished his Senior year playing football, and they are both extremely loaded with responsibility.  I am still amazed at how they do it with their two young ones.  I am also really impressed with Crystal.  She has such a kind heart and is always trying to be the best mom she can be.  She is not a woman of the world but has her heart in the right place.  I wish only the best for this beautiful family.  Thanks for letting me spend a couple hours with you guys. :)
