Families of all ages and sizes gather for reunions around the world each year and many of those reunions happen in Nauvoo. Ages span from newborn to ninety. Groups range from a dozen to 250 or more. As photographers in Historic Nauvoo, we have the great privilege of meeting many who get together.

The Dickinsons were one of those groups. The family unit of mom, dad, and five sons has grown to include daughters-in-law and many grandkids…..and with all those granddaughters, mom is no longer outnumbered!

The adults were calm and caring. The kiddos were sweet, a little sassy, and completely adorable. Curiosity overcame any fear as they scaled fences to get close enough to pet the calves corralled nearby. Even the smallest ones able to walk stopped to take a good, long look.

See the pics below to see the calm, caring, adorable, and fearless……

To the Dickinson Family,

All those sons! What a legacy you will have as your family continues to grow. Thank you for letting us spend a few hours with you during your time in Nauvoo. May you continue to receive all the best life has to offer.

Hope to see you in Nauvoo again!

Tom and Jeanette
