Family Session

I thoroughly enjoyed being around these families. The Williams' are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, so their children and grandchildren are visiting from California. They invited me to come snap a few family photos while everyone is together. I found myself so comfortable around them, I easily could have forgotten I had a job to do. And what a beautiful family they have! 
They have a new barn they wanted incorporated into pictures, but with the sun shining in the direction it was, they would have had to look straight into the sun to use that side of the barn. Another year maybe after the expected baby has arrived. They should have horses by then too, which would be fun to use in portraits.
Anyway, here are some highlights from todays session before we all melted in the heat:

The Smith Family

Oh what fun we had this morning! These kids are so sweet and well behaved and did such a great job! I had too many favorites to share, so I made another animoto video. Enjoy!

The Green Family

This family did such a great job working together for these family portraits. Big sister Kylie was so patient in waiting for us to get her little brother to smile, and did everything she was told to do. I enjoyed the session.. here are some of my favorites:

Family Portrait Session

Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph several families that are related to each other. Although I ended up being there for over five hours as everyone was coming and going at different times - I really enjoyed being with them all. They were all so very sweet, considerate, and cooperative! Originally I picked out way too many pictures to share in my blog, so I had to turn it into a video instead of post single pictures. I'd never used animoto before, but its pretty neat. Enjoy the little slideshow.. I think its about 2 minutes long.
