When Kim suggested basketball as a photo idea… we were so on board! Picture this image through the eyes of Eli and Owen in 50 years. Yep. Your parents were badasses. Way cool.
She said in that email to us, “we’re a sports family…” Uhm… I’d say! Look how intense these boys are! 
This was their first ever family session. The pressure was on. Not gotta lie… proud of what we took that day. 🙂
Love this one. 😀
…and this one too!
Let’s be real… I love them all! 😀
“Do I reeeeally have to hold his hand?!”
Kim, you’re such a beautiful momma!
Kim and Randy are incredible parents… which explains why their kids are the definition of awesome. Oh, notice that Eli and Owen have identical profiles? By the way, my favorite.
I love how much personality they have!
Holy blue sky batman!
Now those are some gooooood smiles! Man oh man we had so much fun photographing this family.
