A VERY Big Family Photo Shoot.....WHEW!

Sooooo, I've never ever done this large of a family before....

Do you know how HARD it is to get a picture

when all of the subjects are actually LOOKING where

they are supposed to look?

Then add to that, very cold blustery wind....

A LOT of wind!

Then four children who love to FREAK out when

they see their parents KISS.  GASP!!!

This is a family who is very used to the typical "posed"

pictures....

It too me a bit to get them to relax and ENJOY....

I'm sure the dad has plenty of people that won't believe

he actually JUMPED in a portrait!

Despite the wind and chilly weather....we managed

to squeak out some purty dadgum good pictures.

These pictures were taken with their cows....yep, the

cows were easier to get to cooperate than the family...hee hee.

If they had anymore kids, I would have had to pull

out the panoramic lens...which I do NOT have.

Seriously, four children is not bad....but when

it is the biggest family I've ever done....I have to

continue to have fun with the fact....THAT

THIS IS THE LARGEST FAMILY I'VE EVER DONE!

Because this mom is my very good friend, I can goof like this on

the blog....NEVER would I talk like this when I didn't

know the family!  (LOOKING SHEEPISH)

Thanks guys for sharing your family with me!

I can't imagine how many pictures I would have had if it

weren't for the wind and cold..... :)
