When someone contacts me to capture their family photos it makes me very excited, but when it’s a FULL family shoot with several generations represented, well that’s extra special. I love seeing big families interact with each other (secretly I always wished my family was larger.)  Toddlers with their grandparents have to be the sweetest. There’s just a very special kind of love there.

This photo shoot took a little extra planning just based on the number of different family members but they pulled it off so well and thankfully the rain held off just long enough to make for some nice shooting weather and some really great clouds.

When Vanessa contacted me she expressed her desire to have some nice family portraits but also some fun candid pictures of the children playing. Photo shoots are always hard on kids but thanks to her great planning, (shooting at the park and coming loaded with snacks) the children did really well and we were able to capture a great mix of silly and sweet.

I hope you enjoyed the time as much as I enjoyed capturing it!
