If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves.
 

BARRY LOUIS POLISAR
All I Want is You

Even when this family of six wandered off to explore their independence...they were somehow still together.  Then again, when four siblings are all under the age of five, they are inextricably bound together by familiarity and nearness, and the comfort of each other's presence.  But there was more to this family than togetherness...there was kindness, curiosity, exploration, love, thoughtfulness, learning and laughter.

Just before we met for their session, Liga sent me a note that read, "It means the world to us to capture this time with our little ones.  Our days are so full of joy, laughter, learning, and messes these days!".  I adore that their lives are in a state of beautiful chaos and that they are loving every minute of it.  This time in their family life is special and they know it.  Their children will never be this small again, and I loved how Liga and Ryan let time slow down for just a little while, stood back, observed and committed it all to memory...gently tucking these moments away into a special place that only exists in the hearts of parents.

When Erin, Josh and I strolled through German Village in the summer of 2006 for their engagement session, I couldn't have dreamed that one day I would photograph each of their darling daughters in their first few weeks of life.  Documenting Erin and Josh's life milestones...first, as a couple and now, as a family...has been incredibly moving.  It's difficult to put what I feel into words without getting really emotional...so I'll simply share their images, which are also really emotional, full of love and say everything I feel about the Weirich family.
