I am ridiculously behind on my blogging, and will be playing catch up. These pictures were taken before Christmas, actually before December, if that gives you an idea. When discussing this shoot with the mom, she really wanted a red barn to be in the pictures. Lucky for me, I live in a fairly rural area. In my search for a lovely red barn, I happened to meet a very nice man who owned a big red barn. He didn't live there, but gave us permission to use his property. It was a great place to bring this beautiful family. We had a lot of fun, and the kids really enjoyed running around and being little models. I dare say even the Dad had a good time. There are some challenges to photographing larger families. There are more faces to see and make sure look great, and trying to capture emotions that reflect what is going on can be a bit of a challenge. However, it is a really neat thing is to be a part of their little family unit for a little while. To see siblings help each other laugh and to see the love a parent has for each of their children. Photographing large families brings me back to the fun, and often craziness that was the large family I grew up in. Thank you M family for playing with me. You are a beautiful family inside out.
