Ivy Family

What do you call a morning with the Ivy family?  TOO MUCH FUN!! This morning I had the honor of capturing some images of Mike & Shana Ivy and their tremendous foursome of kiddos.  They were lively, amazingly interactive and downright beautiful to boot!

Introducing the Ivy family

I think these guys are rather well-practiced at having fun!

Cute feet--I just couldn't resist

A calmer moment in the morning

Zerbert!!!!! I just doesn't get any better than that!

These are some tough, beautiful young ladies --- Maleah, Kaelin, & Kerington  

"Look out, world, here we come!!"

The young Mr. Silas in a fleeting moment of contemplation

Maleah makes me want to sing a little Stevie Wonder:  "Isn't she lovely;  isn't she wonderful!"

and she has a great sense of humor to match all that beauty and brains -- I asked her to jump from the chair but the chair didn't cooperate.  Thankfully, she came up laughing.

Ms. Kerington (aka:  Little Miss Giggles) -- you just can't help but join her in the laughter

I caught Silas quiet twice -- hmmmm, how did I manage to get that lucky

I get dibs on Miss Kaelin's modeling contracts, ok?!!

Some sweet snuggles for Mom

It was such an incredible pleasure to be around Mike & Shana -- four kids and all the trials and tribulations that come with that road and they are obviously still very much in love -- and brimming over with laughter!

OK, while we were making our way over to the playground and nasty storm made record time moving in  -- we are talking some serious speed playing and shooting to get a few captures in prior to making a hasty exit.  

The darkening skies did not dampen this family's spirits -- must be the joy of the Lord just bubbling through!

Yeah!!!!
