A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

-George Bernard Shaw

About eleven years ago I went on my break at work and checked my voicemail. There was a message from my friend Andrea telling me that she just met my future husband. I was a little skeptical, but I let her convince me to meet him a couple weeks later at Disneyland. She was right. He was perfect for me and a year later we were married. For that reason (and many others) Andrea holds a special place in my heart, so it was a huge joy for me to be able to photograph her family this weekend. We headed up to Oak Glen and had a great time wandering around and playing.
