Extended family photoshoots are always family reunions. Part of this family flew in from halfway around the world! If somebody didn't tell me, I would have never known that some of the little ones might be fighting jet lag. That's how good they were!

The forecast for their day called for heavy rain, and unfortunately, it did just that. Routinely, I book two dates just in case of bad weather. That is Plan B. But later, we realized a family member could not make the 4-hour trip back for the backup date.

You would think that a photo shoot with an extended family would be all chaos and disorder. True, there might be moments where it’s all crazy, but that usually means everyone is having a great time!
