Boystown Experience

I kept thinking of them days and weeks after the photo shoot. The Leyda's are an amazing family that crossed my path. Not only do they have 3 children of their own, they also have 9 other girls they take care of. They call Boystown their home. As we walked around and took photos, I learned more about the importance of Boystown, and more of the Leyda's personality. They are so into their kids, not just the 3, all 12 of them. I couldn't help but be amazed at the way they nurture, encourage, interact, and help them make the right decisions.

From the beginning of the shoot, they were playing, twirling, and rolling around with their kids. Not once was Lisa, the mom, concerned about her hair. So carefree and loving, I marveled at it. As Doug, the father, twirled their youngest daughter around, she asked, "Daddy, I am too heavy?" He smiled at her and said, "You'll never be too heavy, you're my princess." They make me wish that all parents were like them. But not all are so fortunate. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you, Leyda family...the pleasure was all mine.
