I have these little eyes to look into. Oh how I love my Riah’s eyes. They melt me, 1000 times over. He smiles big, hugs me, and tells me he will always love on me…even when he’s a big boy. What more could I ask for?

All right, time for a collective AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
PS – I find it interesting with your kids what you can pick up in their personalities in the photos you document of them. I haven’t met Riah, but I feel like I can get a sense of his personality SO well from your work. Just amazing ….

isnt that the same as just lookin in bretts eyes? i mean seriously, he’s a mini brett. lol.
I remember the day she came. Our first moment as a parent….staring down at this active, very alert baby girl. I just KNEW for 9 months I was having a boy. {wrong!} She was not like the newborn I had pictured in my head, but she was amazingly beautiful. She seemed huge, even at only...

Dad and daughter date…are you kidding me?!? Precious! I can’t wait to see you tomorrow Priya!

She is amazing!!!! Wow!!
I used to go to Astronomy stuff with my dad too! We got up really early to look for meteor showers and Haley’s comet when I was around her age. So great!!!
So where’s her cooking blog? Tell her I would love some recipes to do more with avocados. Love them!

Ahhhh…I LOVE this post about Priya!! Tell her her mom’s friend, Gail, is JUST as obsessed with Jamie and intends to eat in Jamie’s restaurant when she’s in London this summer (a goal that, if accomplished, I’ll share with the Z clan by photo 
LOVE that Brett had her out under the stars. Random story: I got to go out to Hyde Park Observatory in Cincy when I worked at the paper for a story/graphic I did that summer on Mars. SUCH a cool place!

March 26, 2010 - 2:36 pm
I adore you, Priya. 
Can’t wait to see where life takes you.

I still cherish every father daughter date I had with my dad. We still do it with lunch and other ways (working on the farm, just chatting). It melts my heart every time. She is such a joy to read about.

You’re daughter (and family, for that matter) is so precious. The fact that she gasped when she looked through the moon speaks volumes of her. You can tell that she doesn’t take things like that for granted. I so love when you talk about your cute family. You make me want to start one of my own right now!

March 28, 2010 - 11:08 pm

Wow! She seems like a joy to raise. My daughter is 5 and I only hope & pray she’s into cooking at age 10. I will take full advantage of it. What a sweet post and thanks for sharing!

Wow!!!! What a talented girl you have there! You are such a good mom to foster all of her loves and interests.
Math, swimming and art are some of Kara’s favorite things. She’s planning to go to school and major in Engineering at Ohio State University. She’s sweet, bright, and a complete joy to be around! Kara, thanks for putting up with us for 2 hours! We really enjoyed welcoming in spring by doing a session with...

Beautiful images! I love your composition and post processing.
{september 2009} I didn’t have a chance last fall to do a blog post about our family trip to Tennessee to visit Brett’s grandfather and family. We love going down there. He lives in this great old log home, and we run around outside soaking up the gorgeous outdoors. It seems like our last 2...

The photo of your kiddo reading to his Great-Grandpa made my eyes well up with tears. So precious.
March 19, 2010 - 1:18 pm
Yep, looks like a Columbia TN photo shoot to me! I lived in that area for 7 years and miss it daily, especially when I see beautifully done photos like yours.
March 19, 2010 - 6:06 pm
These are all so wonderful and emotionally evocative. What precious memories to preserve for your family! My favorites are the one of the boys peeking through the fence, Adin reading the report (his feet and the whole scene is so Norman Rockwell, love it) and Brett with his grandfather. So poinant. They are ALL great! Of course, Priya is hilarious about the snakes and Gabe, too funny reading the paper like an old man would, in his skivies, no less. Y’all have the capture down. True art!
March 19, 2010 - 8:15 pm
Aaaaww! I recognize so many of these from your slideshow and was wondering what the backstory was! Do you think that guy could be my grandpa too? What an amazing place..
March 19, 2010 - 9:32 pm
You guys will have to come to my parents farm this summer. The kids would have a blast seeing all the animals! I am sure you will have plenty of photo ops with the kids and all my parents animals!
March 21, 2010 - 7:32 am
