[La belle soeurs] the beautiful sisters. | Connecticut

We stand shoulder to shoulder

We stand side to side

When one of us gets a tiny bit tired

One gives the other a ride

{c. simon}

these beautiful sisters i have known and loved since birth. and yet, i haven't aged a day -  go figure! it was a pleasure to spend time with these beauties for a quick connecticut mini sesh at the beautiful keeler tavern garden [sadly under construction while we were there]in ridgefield. home sweet home. xo

[family] love. | newburyport ma

Wise Men say
only fools rush in
but I cant help
falling in love with you

Shall I stay
would it be a sin
if I can't help falling in love with you...

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darlin so it goes, somethings are meant to be..
Take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help fallin in love with you...

Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darlin so it goes, somethings are meant to be..

Take my hand take my whole life too for I cant help
falling in love with you
for I cant help falling in love with...... you.

It was the coldest day for our mini session and sweet little Hunter was shivering. But we braved the wind and chill  to capture these snippets in time. Time is very important for this family as  Chris is being deployed (for the second time) to Afghanistan and he will be gone for a year. Chris is a U.S. Marine, following in his father's footsteps. Jenni is his adorable wife and Hunter is  their sweet little boy.  It was my honor to photograph them. The love of a family.  Safe journey. xx
