I remember hearing about when they got married...I hadn't known either of them directly until a little after then...I'm laughing now at the shock that a lot of people had when they got married..."so young! so much life ahead of them!"I remember feeling sort-of the same sentiment until I remembered I was nineteen when I was engaged to my best friend.yup, this couple makes my heart smile...the milestones this couple has made together may be earlier than what the world says it should be...but you know what?they've graduated high school together,they've graduated college together,they've worked hard side by side together creating the life they live together,and they've made two very adorable, well-respecting, fun-loving, intelligent and articulate little ones together.I would be willing to bet that they've done more life together than most who have a decade in years on them...and that is a pretty cool and admirable thing.I have no doubt that there are moments and seasons where it feels unbearably hard...but life is that way for everyone from time to time.the coolest thing about these two in my book, is that they get to and are doing life together with their best friend.and that makes my heart happy in getting to spend time with them photographing their sweet little family as they reach new milestones.thank you for the afternoon - willy, ashley, g + liam and merry christmas! :)2014-12-03_00012014-12-03_00022014-12-03_00052014-12-03_00032014-12-03_00042014-12-03_00072014-12-03_00082014-12-03_00092014-12-03_00122014-12-03_00162014-12-03_00132014-12-03_00182014-12-03_00102014-12-03_00112014-12-03_00142014-12-03_00172014-12-03_00152014-12-03_00192014-12-03_0006
