M family

The mom in these pictures is one of my oldest and dearest friends and I love her dearly. We met in Kindergarten and have remained friends ever since (that's a lot of years of friendship, somewhere around 36 years). I'm so thankful for her friendship and that she has allowed me to take her family photos over the years. She has done an amazing job raising her two beautiful girls and they are always a delight to photograph. They brought their cute dog, Paisley, to the photo shoot this time and she made it active and so much fun! We laughed a lot at all the funny things she did. We did their photos in downtown Mesa.
