We had originally planned this session for a Saturday, but when the forecast threatened rain, we bumped it to Friday afternoon – I got out of work early :) – and it was quite possibly the nicest day of the year so far! The sun was out in all its glory and matched the warmth of this family; Mike, Erin, Aidan and Becca. They are awesome. Mike is the youth pastor at Sevenoaks Alliance, the church I work at. He’s great because I think he forgot of my involvement in a prank or two the youth kids and leaders played on him. But as a youth pastor, that’s one of the things you sign up for, right?! Actually, he and Erin have done and continue to do so much for the church. Erin, I have SO enjoyed getting to know over the past several months, working together on the contemporary service design team. This girl always has a smile on her face, regardless of what comes at her week to week, and has offered up much encouragement and advice to me. And wisdom. Aidan and Becca are pretty lucky to have parents such as these. Then again, they are pretty rad themselves :) Much fun was had and I think these photos depict the Knott family quite well:
such beautiful girls
See Aidan, THERE are those dimples we were talkin about ;)
I love these – Aidan couldn’t resist sneaking in

That ice-cream shot really is stock worthy. Great to see you constantly progressing.

I think I commented on the wrong post by accident…
