Every family is different. This mom wanted to surprise her hubby with some nice photos of her and the kids.  The brief was for as many photos as possible of all of her happy crew together. And look at these beautiful children! This little girl is so lucky to have four loving big brothers.

When this beautiful mom told me she was bringing her five kids and her dog, I was a bit nervous. It can be  challenge to get five kids to cooperate and all look at me! It turns out she had a great bunch of kids, and with my tips and tricks to keep kids engaged, I am so happy with the photos we got.

So we chose a nice warm evening, with the gorgeous light of the sun dipping behind the mountain, a nice secluded spot with fall foliage and fields, and allowed time for this bunch to be together and enjoy each other’s company. I am so so pleased for this amazing mom (who happens to also be a student of mine with a lovely eye for photography – so yes, a bit of pressure for me, but oh so worth it!).
