::Surprise!!::

Photographing this wonderful family was definitely a treat.  This past winter, Gary approached me and asked if I could do family pictures for them this summer, but their children turned it around and surprised Gary and Vicky with a session for their 40th Anniversary.

Gary and Vicky are one of those couples that D and I think of as role models on what a Godly marriage looks like, and we are very fortunate to have them in our lives through our church family.

I loved going through this session because everyone was so great..  

here are just some of my favorites from the day.

Can you believe this young couple has twelve grandchildren??

Here's a "behind-the-scenes" look!  Love it!

The eight grandsons.  :)

The four beautiful granddaughters...  I'll share some more pictures of them soon.

Sweet Addy.  We also did some one year pictures of Addy that I'll share later.

Gary and Vicky were also surprised with a Surprise Anniversary Party thrown by their children.

After spending just minutes with this entire family, one can tell their is so much love and respect.

And fun!!!!   :)
