When I say these are some of my favorite people in the universe, it is not a stretch, an exaggeration, or an overstatement by any measure. They are truly some of my favorite people in the entire universe, bar none!

So I get so excited every time I get to photograph them. As it turns out, I picked up my first camera when their oldest was born and it has been such a blessing to document their family grow over the years. Granted, my photos back then were subpar, but the subjects were still non the less extraordinary! And because they were always willing to be my models, I can attribute my growth and honing my skills to them.

This session didn’t disappoint, they put on their holiday best and the results are magical.

Jaymi, seriously I could never thank you enough for always agreeing to letting your beautiful family be my muse. I don’t know if I would even have a photography career if it wasn’t for you. Remember, smiles or no smiles, every stage of life is precious. Enjoy this walk down memory lane. I love you so very much, XO – Kelly Harper
