This past weekend I was fortunate enough to have a few extended family shoots. What better time than right after Thanksgiving, when family is in town?!   This family was full of energy!  With 8 kids, and 8 adults in the photos, one might think it would be total chaos.  NOPE!  This family had their act together, for sure.  The moms had everything planned out and had the session running like a well oiled machine.  Most of the kids were very young, and so adorable.  It was a great time doing all the group shots, but my favorite shots are the candid, individual or group shots with cousins interacting.  These are the ones that show the true family dynamic and the individuality.  I hate cookie cutter photos, and stiff, posed shots.  The more natural, the better, and silly faces, wiggles and goofiness is exactly what I love being part of.
