I absolutely love this family! Mackenzie and Ben are so delightful. They are full of spunk, charisma and the nicest people you could meet. Mackenzie and I met back in school and graduated high school together back in 19…. I’ll let you guess but know we look fabulous for our age! Ben and my husband are beer buddies. They never miss a new release and probably know every brewery in the civilized world.

Mackenzie and Ben have the sweetest kids too. Meet Spencer, Kate (Spencer’s girlfriend), Anna, Maggie, Hayden and little Charlie. I was shocked to see how tall they have all gotten since our last session. The girls seriously have lost their little girl look and instead look like beautiful young women! Spencer is about to graduate from college and Hayden and Charlie both have grown like weeds. I am a speech-language pathologist as well as a photographer so language is kind of my jam. Hayden and Charlie both are on the spectrum and watching their language grow is fascinating and man how they have been working hard! They both have come so far and are utilizing skills that many of us take for granted. Way to go Charlie and Hayden!

Speaking of Charlie and Hayden…. oh my goodness Mackenzie you found the perfect outfits for them. Hayden looked like he could take the stage in the Broadway production of Newsies and Charlie’s bowtie complements his squishy cheeks. Charlie was having a blast coming up with his own posses and kept everyone laughing.

I could go on and on about this family but I’m sure you would rather see their gorgeous faces! Here are the Siders.
