Family: (n) a group of related things or people.

What a great group this family was! Everyone was so cooperative and compliant, making my job very easy with a group of 36 people...



'Have to start with the grandparents:


This one below is so nice- all neat and composed... But the next one? Oh, I love the next one...


See? So sweet:


So there's a story behind this next image. The mother of the whole crew has an image from 10 years ago hanging in her hallway. It's a shot just like this, with far fewer people in it! So we worked to recreate history. :) I have it in color, too, but I had to show it in crisp black and white:

We were losing light fast, so we had to move after this shot, but I love the back-lighting here. And a beautiful family to match.


Love the colors they wore:


So nice:



Everyone looking and smiling-- I meant it when I said they were cooperative!


Great outfit choices-- love the white against the greenery:




Just one of them keeping it real... :) (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)


'Love the coordinating colors here- and a beautiful family:


Awww...


There's just something about sisters:


I was so impressed with the children here. They just did as they were told and worked together. Love it when families cooperate so well.



These next 2 make me smile-




Thanks to all of you-- it was so nice meeting you. Enjoy your beautiful images; you all did such a great job! I will be emailing you the link to your online gallery once it is all completed.
