While at Eureka Springs, I seized the opportunity to take portraits of my immediate family members. When everyone is spread across the country in four different states, you don't often get the chance to do something like that. I snagged both my brothers for a quick session, and then pulled my parents aside for a little while as well:

My parents are dedicated, loving, thoughtful, under-appreciated, and awesome. I owe so much to them, and they've been a huge support to me in my life, vocationally, spiritually, emotionally... all the "l-ly's" you can think of.

Best of all, they're still madly in love with each other.

Aside: I love the first pose, mostly because my dad initiated it, and also because it accents how beautiful the height difference is between my mother and father. The second shot highlights what I'd call my mom's "wry" grin. And the third, well... isn't it obvious?
