This is Mike's #1 Lady, Michelle.     

  When taking pictures of the two of them, I quickly realized they needed no instruction.  

They love being close together and know how to show it.

 Not one ounce of effort required.

Now, meet the rest of the ladies in his life.  Shawna, Megan, and Rachael.

Sisters undeniably, yet each one is very much their own person.

I think thats why I love these individual shots so much.

Seeing so much of who they are in each one.

I've sat behind Mike and his family in church on several occasions.  And it's a common thing to see them huddled close.  

When one member is away, the void is felt.  

Its clear they are a family that loves to be together.  

I'm sure they have their moments.  

Four girls under one roof.... how can you not?  

I'd be remiss to not mention the sweet, visible bond between fathers and daughters.

Mike and his girls are no exception. 

Even into adulthood, daughters with dad, is just a beautiful thing.  

Its no secret that most parents are aware that raising girls isn't always an easy task... you know, all those hormones!  My mom always described my hormonal moments as the days when "the dark cloud hovered."  I'm sure she was putting it mildly.  Just ask my husband, Paul.  

Mike and Michelle, you have made it look deceivingly effortless!  It was such a pleasure spending the evening with you and your girls down at the river.
