Well, for the last 8 days I have been sick with the flu. The cough, nose, throat, body ache, laying-in-bed kind. And if you read my last post you know that I DON’T HAVE TIME TO BE SICK!!!!! Well, I was finally able to finish these images for these awesome people last night, who have been so kind to me while waiting for their photos (as you can see from their attire, this shoot took place WEEKS ago!)
So a little bit about them…
There are times in our lives when we meet people who are truly deeply in love, deeply connected, and just overall great people. They enjoy each other, they know how to live life to the fullest, and they radiate kindness and peace.
In honor of their coolness, I am going to do a CONTEST. If they get 25 comments on this post, I will give them a free 5×7 print. So help them out, people! Leave a comment so that these folks can have a free photo of their choice!

























Let me be the first! I could just feel the funness, love and closeness in this family through your pictures, Jen! They (pics and people) are beautiful.
Yay for the family with the most fun-to-pronounce last name in town! These photos are awesome. Love the moody sky and perfect lighting.
Gorgeous as always Jen! You are so talented! I can tell you really captured the spirit of this family! Hooray for patient clients!
They better start buying some frames!! those are ALL gorgeous pics. I don’t know how i’d decide which ones to put up around my house if I were them!
I always love looking at your pictures..they’re so beautiful

Beautiful pictures Jen!! I need to talk to you about scheduling a family pic:)
apple orchard=awesome place to take pictures! These boys are so cute! Great job Jen, as usual!
i hope to someday grow up and have a family like yours Mr. Splichal! absolutely gorgeous!
awesome couple, pics, and some seriously cute little fellas
I LOVE the one of the little boy laughing and hitting his forehead – so cute. The couple pictures are amazing – although none of us posting these comments are surprised by that.
Beautiful family. Excellent photo. What a combo.
I know I have a weakness for adorable little boys! (why did God give me all girls?)….anyway, the one with the little guy and the apple bucket/basket….SO CUTE!
Awesome photos of our friends. You are correct, people touch you in a way thoughout your life. Jason, Heather and the boys are great and these photos show them off perfectly. Good Luck picking out the best of the crop!
You have captured so beautifully the richness of relationships in this family. I was smiling all the way through the photos.
Cute family! Here’s to a free photo!
