Great Fathers are such a wonderful thing.  I also really appreciate Mothers who give their guys the space and the encouragement to be great Dads.  Steven (my husband) is an amazing Father.  He is totally in the fight alongside me and the kids adore him.  Steven shines as a parent.  He is gentle and sweet with them but manages to firm up and be more strict when he needs to be.  He's actually better at that then I am.  He's silly with the boys and takes the punches of parenting with an amazing stride.  I'm so grateful.  I can't imagine doing this incredible difficult job of parenting without him at my side.

This shot is from a session a week or so ago.  The Mom kept saying that she wanted a shot of her little girl on her husband's shoulder because that is where she loved to hangout.  It brought back a flood of memories for me.  Sayer loved to sleep on Steven's chest.  When I shot this, I could actually see this clear picture in my mind of Sayer's little face with his little mouth open completely asleep on Steven's chest.  It's just going by so fast, where has 5 years gone?
