We don’t normally take on large family group shots, but when our past client Jenny asked us to do one to document her family for her Grandmother’s birthday, we obliged. Lucky us, all **26** of us, that we chose the ABSOLUTE HOTTEST day of the summer. At least it felt that way. But despite the hot and humid sticky mess, this family really did quite well, with very little complaining. When they first walked up we did have one family member make an offer of $100 in cash if we could get it done in 5 minutes!!

If you have followed the blog for a while you may remember Jenny and Marty’s ADORABLE little red head’s from last fall. They have gotten bigger, and are cuter than ever!!

Here’s the whole family:

Here’s their goofiness (some of you could use some goofiness lessons!!!)

Pretty Hannah with her Uncle.

Here is precious little Molly with her Mama.

Molly and Sophia.

My favorite shot of the day!! I LOVVVVE Sophia’s face so much as she “explains” how to properly blow bubbles to her little sister. (Have to say, it reminds me of myself a bit.) :)

My precious, precious niece. She has been checking the blog diligently for the past couple weeks, because well, frankly I made her wait just like everyone else. Bad Aunt! She yelled at me Thursday night about her photos…but it just so happened she was next in line. :)

We had a lot of fun going around and exploring new territory together. Lately I find that I am really enjoying finding new locations on the fly, just being completely spontaneous. This is completely unlike me but I found myself inspired by the fabulous Brianna Graham. She said that she prefers not to check out her locations ahead of time because then she has no expectations or preconceived ideas about lighting conditions, where it will fall, etc. Some of my most favorite sessions lately are ones where I just start driving and stop when I feel like something looks right. We found some super rad locations doing this. We also found some scary locations doing this, but we hurried and moved on.

Kate, you are so stinkin’ adorable. This is when all those people were outside watching us like you were a celebrity or something.

LOOOOVVVEE this shot!!!!

I see me. :)

Ok, this shot- something about Kate’s shadow makes me all giddy like a little kid. Doesn’t it look like Peter Pan’s shadow??

off. the. chain.

L to the O to the V -E.

makes us all so happy.

Oh…good times. good times.

proof that I can be “normal” too. :)

LOVE YOU k-k!!!!

You happy now Kate?? You better still be checking your Aunt’s blog!!
Love YOU.
