Go ahead.  Ask anyone that knows my parents and they will totally back me up.  I have the best parents ever.  And my kids have the best grandparents ever.  I literally struggle for words when it comes to describing how awesome they are.  And not, ‘awesome’, like, “Wow, that chocolate donut was awesome!” but rather […]

We can only hope that, as a parent, you know your heartfelt words touched us beyond belief. Your kind words will live in our hearts for the rest of our lives. You are, and always have been, a thoughtful, loving daughter.ReplyCancel

    Okay Jenn, so if the post wasn’t enough to evoke some tears, the pictures surely do!! I’ve never personally met either of your parents, but over the years of our friendship, I’ve heard SO much about them. These pictures are such a beautiful way to show all they’ve been through together as a couple, as parents, as grandparents, and as friends. You can see the love in their eyes, and that’s priceless. Great job capturing the emotion and story in each shot…it’s what so many strive to do in this business, but often fall short of.ReplyCancel
