My heart is warm and I feel like the luckiest person in the world when I think of the half day I spent with the Feast clan. A family of readers, soccer fans, gardeners, and cooks, they play and love and laugh, and have quiet moments when everyone is reading. They have piles of books and periodicals on every flat surface and remarkable kids who would rather read a book than do chores play video games. Everyone helped in the kitchen throughout the day preparing for the evening meal. The greatest gift of the day - Quinton decided to have his first shave. I was so honored to be present and able to photograph that milestone. What a joy to be a part of their lives for one day.
