Sara Easter is a professional photographer from Arlington, Texas, specializing in family photo shoots. For the sake of pleasure, Sarah takes off her three sons (4, 7 and 9 years old). "So far, my sons are immune to the fact that I shoot them," the photographer shared. — I take pictures of them every day, and they hardly notice it. That's what all moms do."

"I started taking pictures of my boys for the same reason as all parents. I just wanted to remember what they were like."

"They should have something that they can then share with their own children and grandchildren. But more importantly, I want them to see themselves as I see them in these pictures. How wild, inventive, funny, kind, loving, generous, goofy and smart they are. I hope they will see it all thanks to my photos."
