The Vandenbemdens.

Last time I shot this circus passing through Cincy, they were announcing this little bun in the oven! Now Harper is already one!

All 7 of them fight over her, as they can’t get enough of her sweetness. 😍

It hadn’t registered til shooting, how lucky they were that the genders were now even and Nicole reminded me she was one of 6 which was also balanced perfectly!

Wild that they’re almost all the same height!!

As John was yelling at the youngest boy for throwing snowballs, the older ones were behind him doing just the same. 🤣

Even though there was snow on the ground, it was rapidly melting as it was 58º out! A handful of days earlier it was -7º. Make the Midwest weather make sense.

Sweet beeb!

It was a fight who got to hold Harper at all times. So even though Payton was fully holding her, we let Will think he was doing all the work. 😆 She loved it!

The snow really is so beautiful, I’m so glad we had that!

I spend 2 seconds taking some shots of Nicole and John and the kids had already sprint down to the frozen pond!

Glad I got to see you during your short stay in Cincy! Your life MUST be insanely chaotic, but it felt like you had it all under control! The kids all get along so well and I love how much they adore Harper! What a gift you gave all them! I’ll see ya in another couple years! 🤣 Heart, Melanie
