Several weeks ago, our good friend Joy called and asked if we could take pictures of her family while she and her youngest sister were home for the holidays. Of course we agreed! =) You see, Joy's parents own a ranch and her dad has decided to retire. BUT, before they sell the place, the girls thought they needed some family pictures at some of their favorite places on the land. You see, this is more than just a house and some land. It's even more than just their home. It's been a major part of their family for years. Their livelihood. Their culture.

So, we set out on a super cold and windy day to make it happen. The ranch. was. beautiful. I hadn't been there before and I'm sure it's even nicer in any other season but winter, but still. Anyway, cold temperatures aside, we had such a great time! Their family is the epitome of kind. They were so nice and welcoming and just all around good people that are fun to be around. We also enjoyed the extra chance to hang out with Tarl and Joy too.

A quick glance at some of the shots we got:
