Meet the Bell family.

Let me just start by explaining that Brittney Bell (the tiny, cute person in the blue and white polka dots) is one of my most near and dear friends which makes her entire family near and dear to me as well. That’s funny how that works, huh? I love Brittney and therefore I automatically love everyone that she loves. It’s just the way it works.

Ty, Brittney, Heather and Bekah

And let me also get this straight: It was dang windy the day we took these. However, the Bell family took it in stride even though there was a lot of hair-stuck-in-my-lipgloss pictures. Especially for Ty.

Aren’t they pretty?

We took these pictures in a sculpture garden near where Heather works in Dallas. This picture is one of my favorites from the shoot — such a serene family photo.

Sweet brother-sister love.

“That’s right. I raised them.”

(That’s what Heather is saying in my head in this picture)

SO MUCH love!

This is the Bell family cd cover.

Brittney and Bekah could be models if they wanted. Like, modeling agencies of the world, meet your next . . . models.

Well. I love them. There aren’t very many other words I have for this family.
