The Veldman Family

Every once in a while, my five-year-old son Ethan asks me if super-heroes are real. And I always tell him that I believe there are lots of everyday super-heroes. The first few times I told him this, he looked at me funny and asked a lot of questions. Now he responds my naming some of my favorite everyday super-heroes. And Sarah is definitely one of them. I met her way back in highschool, and we’ve been friends ever since. It’s been pretty cool to see her blossom over the last ten years as a mama…and as mama to five! (see, told ya she was a super-hero!). And Mark, well he’s a pretty good guy too. And, he doesn’t complain too much about the long distance bills for Sarah and I’s regular cross-border telephone conversations.

I love PhotoSessions like this because it really gives me the chance to get to know the kids a bit better when I can take some pictures of them one-on-one. I tell you, these two older girls are going to make good mamas one day too. Blake, (who is the same age as Ethan – 5) was a total ham. And the two ‘babies’ of the family (who are 14 months apart…I did mention Sarah’s a super-hero, right??) Zander and Ava kept us all on our toes…but aren’t they adorable?!

I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I’ll be sending you a link to your slideshow in the next few days.

This was a fun one…it was pretty cold out, and this was the perfect way to warm up!

I still can’t believe she is 10! Crazy how time flies.

Because all five year olds like to jump, right?

This little guy was not so into taking pictures this time around….but I still think he’s pretty darn cute

And Little Miss Ava…check out those big blue eyes (and the mischevious sparkle!).

And two of my faves of Mark & Sarah that I just couldn’t resist. I always love the mom & dad pics!
