the jolly family

i’ve known mitch and jennifer a long time.  mitch was my youth pastor at church when i was in high school.  i remember riding back from youth camp in the church van while mitch and jennifer were sitting in the front as me and my friends prepared them for children – “mom, are we there yet?”  “dad, i have to go to the bathroom.”  “mom? mom?”  “dad, dad.”   and every once in a while, someone would just scream at the top of their lungs.  i’m sure we probably did it longer than we should have.

that was probably ten years ago.  and now… they have a beautiful family of their own!

Chris Hayes - Wow, those are great. I’m so happy the Jollys had this opportunity to get some great pictures. As always, “the reason” comes through with combining great photography with the ability to perfectly portray the personality of the family. Well done.
