Two words: A. Dorable.  

This precious family is from my hometown - Delano.

You might even remember them from our session here.

Time flies, and little girls grow up...

But family connections only get stronger. :)

When we were figuring out a location, mom requested we use her parent's backyard....

The home she grew up in.

It was so fun to imagine all the memories that are connected with that place...

And I couldn't have asked for better light for our sunrise session.

Or more beautiful subjects. :)

Don't forget to check out my favorites here and here!

I've known Dale and Jean since before I can remember. (No literally - before I can remember.) They are two of the sweetest, most goofy people you'll ever meet.  

Growing up in the Awana program at my church, they were my Awana Missionaries.

And beloved by all.

Dale emailed me about doing family photos waaay back in 2012... But we never got around to it.

I guess they were too busy enjoying their grandkids...  :)

Taking after the goofiness of Dale and Jean - the kids and grandkids asked if they could jump.

How could I say no to such sweet faces? :)

I adore these two photos! Two sweet couples, two sweet moments.

Dale and Jean, I was so blessed to be able to meet, get to know, and hang out with the rest of your family! Thank you so much for trusting me with your memories! Love you both bunches. :)
