Ok, I just had to start with this picture even though it didn't actually come first in the session:) I still just love it so much.  

I've known Mark for probably over 10 years and it's been awesome to watch his little family grow.  At the church I grew up in, Mark plays guitar and sings in our bluegrass gospel band.  Yes, bluegrass. Yes, we play it every Sunday:)  Elijah, his oldest son is quickly catching on to that mandolin.  He often plays up front with the mandolin or on a drum. 

This is Jeremiah. He's the newest addition to their family.

And Micah.  I was soooo impressed with this little guy.  At two years old, he made my job way too easy. Isn't he supposed to at least make me get my workout and chase him in circles?

And Elijah, the big brother.

Ok, back to the music.  Can't you just tell how proud Mark is of Elijah? This picture makes me smile.

Oh, and Micah joins in on the harmonica or the mountain dulcimer:)

Our session took place at Ketner's Mill.  I've always thought it was beautiful, and it was a perfect place for this family.

Time for a little water fun!

Elijah is such a good big brother. He looked out for Micah the whole time.Vintage
