ALL MY CHILDREN gave me a most wonderful Mother's Day gift---a family portrait session with the talented photographer, Jonathan Canlas. It was a major accomplishment to get everyone there for one hour together. Maeve and Brad came from Australia where they were working and vacationing, Mia, Bruce, and family from Nebraska, Ian and Kelsee fresh from a trip to San Diego, Ty and Holly from North Salt Lake, and Lisa and Micah from Kaysville. We met at Memorial Grove, just down the street from where Carly and Oliver live. I told everyone to dress in black or brown and when I arrived and saw ALL MY CHILDREN, I knew it would be beautiful. After, we all ate at the Spaghetti Factory. We were quite a sight walking into Trolley Square in matching colors. People probably thought we were just a weird Mormon family. As Michael and I looked down the long table at our family of 20, we were just incredulous at the amazing children we have. We love them all so much. They are all unique and special and they have blessed our lives.
Here are some favorite images from our shoot.
