the rook family

For nearly 5 years, I’ve watched their love grow. I’ve watched the way Kelly’s eyes dance when she talks about Joe. And how Joe cannot help but smile when his eyes lock with Kelly’s. I’ve documented the little glances and brush of hands as their wedding ceremony unfolded and later when heartfelt (and hilarious) toasts were shared. I watched their embrace on the very day they found out they were expecting their first child. And most recently, I saw them wrap their arms around their 3 precious little ones and shower their little ones with love.

Kelly and Joe – I still find tears in my eyes when I think of your family. From Bears shirts at your engagement session to invading coffee shops on your wedding day to watching your love for each other in little glances during your ceremony and the way you held each other in your “Just Us” session. I am so grateful for you two. For your support and kindness and that you would trust me with these moments.

And then there’s the way you love your little ones. Oh Kelly – you are such an amazing mom. Your love for them spills into every moment. It’s beautiful. And JOE! I look at the picture of your daughter’s hand wrapped around his finger and I see it ALL. Love. Strength. And one amazing dad.
Let’s just say – I love you two. And I’m forever grateful for every last moment with you!
