the ness family…

August 20, 2008
this is seriously one of the sweetest families ever! heidi is the older sister to my good friend hannah (remember her twins?). heidi, chris and their children are missionaries in africa, and are leaving again for four years next month. i can’t think of a more amazing calling than what they do. i feel honored to have been able to spend a small amount of time with them, and i hope that they feel that i have captured a small piece of “home” for them to take with them:)

heidi had a vision of her children in the back of a rusty pick-up truck, eating washington apples.
she found the truck on some property belonging to a friend of their family, who was so sweet to let us all take over the space for an hour. i hope this is what you had in mind! i think it’s adorable!

everything went so well! these sweet kids were so easy to work with even though it was seriously over 100 degrees outside!
thank you heidi and chris for letting me capture your beautiful family!
i hope you love the results!

Tamar: These turned out beautifully, Beth!!!

The Elephant's Trunk: I'm out of town and have been dying to get a computer all day to see if they were up yet. I am flabergasted by what you've done! They are absolutly amamzing. The picture of the apples and the truck with the kids is exactly what I had hoped for in my head. Thank you thank you thank you! How could I ever express to you my gratitude. This will be cherished for the rest of my life! Keep using that talent God has given you!

Jme: Beautiful! I love the one with the kids in the back of the truck. It's very Americana! :)

the yaney's: I love the one of the family laughing together and the ones of the kids in the truck...heck I think they are all great!!!
