The first time I had a photo of my husband and I and all our kids, we were lined up on a sidewalk sitting down. My youngest at the time was 6 months old and still our foster son. I remember looking at that photo and thinking. "dang that looks like a big family!" and then it made my heart so happy. Fast forward the kids are all grown up (even the little's) and I still love our yearly family photos just as much today as I did when they were younger. 

My oldest is 23 years old down to my youngest at 5 years. The title says "what makes me who I am today" , These people right here make me who I am. I had my son when I was 14 years old. We grew up together and experienced more than we ever should have together but he is now my best friend and the best kid you could ever ask for. Becoming a parent so young is exactly what has defined my entire life. It has made me mature at a very young age, made me realize what is actually important in life and made me want to pursue my happiness and passion even more. They have molded me into the goofy mom, the outgoing person that always wants more friends, the person that always dreams too big and has goals that may be out of this world but these people right here are the ones that made your photographer that you are about to book, the best version of herself.
