I work at Bellingham Christian School with Andy Lewis. We actually met seven years ago when we were both still students learning how to be teachers. Since then, he's had three amazing kids with his wife Sarah and we've taught middle school together for six years. He has a great family and I was pretty excited to get to hang out with them for a bit during such a busy time in their lives.
As you can tell from the pictures, they are adding on to their house right now, which means their lives are a bit crazy. We decided to do the family portraits amongst the construction to reflect not only where their kids are in their development, but where their house is too. Enjoy.
You know how every year you intend to get great family portraits for Christmas? ...and then you get really busy? ...and it gets really dark and rainy? Well, maybe this is your year. Melissa Cline just emailed me about a week ago and look what they got. Cow's licking their elbows. And great family portraits of course.
