more than a year in the making | an everyday extended family session

Crystal, a longtime client and friend, contacted me a year ago February about a gift certificate for her husband’s momma, Annette. I had met her husband’s siblings several months earlier and was looking forward to photographing them once again.

The family has since grown by two babies and it was a joy capturing them – and the rest of the bunch – at Annette and her husband Kevin’s lakeside home.

The family had dinner then I was given “the official tour” by Crystal’s two girls. (Really all we did was go to the back porch where they asked me to hop up on “stage” and sing.) In addition to playing, I kept my eyes peeled for details and moments.

Then I spent a little time with each family and orchestrated a few group shots:

Here’s a peek at how the rest of the day unfolded:

Thanks again EVERYONE for inviting me into your lovely little world.
