The Collins Girls

I have known these girls for over twenty years.  Hard to believe it has been that long.  Liz and I met in middle school and, well, the rest is history.  Life-long friends, one of the benefits of growing up in a small, close-knit community.  These sisters have a remarkable bond, something I really admire in them.  They have been there for one another through life's ups and downs.  All three are now officially "grown-ups", married with children.  I am so proud of the families they have established.  Watching them gives me a perma-grin on my face and a warm n' fuzzy feeling in my stomach.  Over Thanksgiving all of the girls and their families were in town.  This was no small fete.  One lives in Brazil, another in Colorado!  Because everyone was in the same place at the same time, we thought this would a be a great opportunity to shoot some photos of the kids, the girls, and their families.  With all of the kids, naptime fast approaching, and a Collins Girls dinner party that day, the shoot was controlled chaos.  But it was so much fun!  I only wished we had more time so I could have captured more images.  My mind raced with all of the photograph possibilities!
The newest addition, Baby Gabriel.  Oh what a doll!  Mom and Dad are simply glowing with the euphoria of parenthood.  Sigh....so sweet!
My dear Lizzie and two of her three fab men.  Man number one, her hubby was helping to corral the other wee ones when we shot this keeper!
Princess Delaney, the only girl in the bunch.  She looks like a little doll!
So cute to watch Steven's reaction to a kiss from his little bro'.
Aiden and Steven had a GQ moment.   I could have died!  They leaned up against a tree and hammed it up for the camera. 
Chris was full of priceless expressions that day.  So many to capture!  I thought a story board would be the perfect showcase for all of his sweet, campy looks.
