Leila Hunt Photography: A lot to be thankful for...

I had the annual opportunity to photograph my oldest friends kids this week. We have been friends for about 26 years, so we go waaaaay back! I have so enjoyed watching her family grow and watching these kids go from babies to toddlers to now pre-teens, gasp. We joke every time I see her oldest that she will be taller than me next time I see her. Well, she almost made it this time. She was up to my nose. I guess next year will be the year that I have officially been outgrown by a friend's kid :) I knew it would happen and very likely will happen with every kid I know, but it is still funny to me. Her girls are always very good for the camera, though the oldest was starting to give me the "are we done yet?" b/c she wanted to be texting her friends, ha, ha. The youngest was really shy at first and then all of a sudden like magic he jumped up on a bench with his sisters and started cheesing it up. We shot at my very favorite garden center in Texas. I soooo miss this place and wish like mad it was in Tennessee. I have never seen a place take so much effort to make a gorgeous place to look at as well as sell plants. Seriously it is amazing! So much gorgeous stuff. The sun was very bright so we were shade searching out there, but we managed okay. I am thankful for my friendship with "S" and for the opportunity to be her official family photographer. So, on with the sneak peeks...

All the stars lined up for this shot. My fav of the three of them.
