the friends that are family.

This family is like family to us. Eric and Rob grew-up together on Mercer Island. They've known each other since the time they were Max's age. Eric has always considered Rob a brother, and in a way, they really are brothers when you see them together. And all these years later we ended up moving to the same little SW Washington city that they were living in, Camas. The girls have called Eric, Uncle Meis, for years...and then we got married and I became Auntie Meis (doesn't have quite the same, cute ring to it...) Those girls love Max like the brother they don't have, and Max loves Miss A and Miss H like sisters he doesn't have.
It's a rare and beautiful thing. They're a gift, really. Those friends who would do anything for you, and you for them - no questions asked.
It was an easy shoot - our friends that are family.
Thank you, Afflecks.

These photos are gorgeous! Love the light. Those freckles just kill me. My favorites are probably the silly one that you posted earlier and the overhead shot of the whole family.
So nice to have great friends like that too. :)
