the horner family

I had never met these lovely people before, and I left our session wishing I was part of the Horner family. 🙂 Can you even imagine how much fun this crew has when they are all together? Their smiles are 100% real, and they’re every bit as happy as they look.
16_12_horner_01 I’ve pretty much fallen in love with photographing grown, extended families like this one over the past few years. People who value having their pictures taken as a family throughout every season of what “family” looks like – those are people who speak my language.16_12_horner_02 16_12_horner_03 HA! I love John hugging Maddie’s husband Levi here.

Claudia, you are such an awesome mom – so fun to see how loved you are in just a little one-hour window!16_12_horner_09 The boys. A ton is this family’s laughter originates from these two. 🙂16_12_horner_10 16_12_horner_11 Ending with one of my favorites of Claudia & Mike. 🙂 Thank you both for sharing your amazing family with me!
