A quick little "record check" revealed that this was my 12th shoot with this family. TWELVE SHOOTS!? Wow. That's my record so far with any given family and I gotta say we're like a well oiled machine at this point. You'd think doing a shoot with four adults and three kids under 4 would be total pandemonium but it was smooth sailing from start to finish. We all work very well together and we all know each other by now well enough to see the hiccups coming and take alternate routes and adapt our gameplan when necessary. It's just totally seamless at this point which is pretty remarkable with this large of a group. I've had the distinct honor of being able document every milestone, every pregnancy, every newborn, and every stage for them. I just love this family through and through.
Shannon, Adam, AJ & Easton, and Jennifer, Mike & Chase, it was an absolute pleasure, as always and I am no longer surprised by the ridiculous amount of amazing shots we get every time. Grandma Cindy, thank you for making this possible every year for us all. I know your daughters so appreciate this gift tremendously.
Here is a TINY fraction of all the incredible images we got that beautiful afternoon.
The three cousins. AJ (in the middle) is a total ham.
