I’m not gonna lie—when Mandy posted in one of our local photography groups looking for someone to photograph her family of 18, I was a little nervous! 18 is a big number! Then I thought about how I pose large families like that together at weddings all the time and told her I would love to do them! With a family “core” of 5 siblings, it wasn’t bad at all. I ended up LOVING getting to photograph such a big family! We did group shots, individual shots, and even some with just the kids!

Hurricane Matthew rolled into town the morning we were supposed to do the session, and we didn’t think we were going to be able to reschedule because some of the family was here from out of town. Thankfully the storm passed, the sunshine came out, and we were able to figure out a time that worked great for all of us, and we made it happen! I love how they turned out! Enjoy some of my favorites. (:
