"Mothers are all slightly insane."
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

As a mother myself I can surely attest to that sentiment! Look cross-eyed at one of my children and you will see just how insane; and 4 out of 5 of my children are adults themselves!
 But mostly we mothers are insane with adoration and love for our offspring, despite their faults we see past to who they really are. We see the beauty of our child's soul, no matter if that child is 3 or 30.

Meeting with Kris and her two children, Isaac and Ciara, was my third shoot with members of the extended Holman Family. A large tight knit group, I am always impressed by their closeness and the love they radiate not only for their children but for each other. 
Those are my kind of people :)

They surely come by their easy family camaraderie naturally, as the matriarch of their family, Susan Holman, practically glows when she speaks of any of her 4 daughters or her many grandchildren.
Every child, no matter their age, should have a mother and grandmother speak of them in such a way!

So here are some more members of the Holman family..Kristen and her handsome son Isaac and her picture perfect daughter Ciara.
And you can tell by the look in her eyes that she is definitely crazy, insane, in love, over them both :)
