I think we spent about 45 minutes total. With as busy as families are these days, we had been juggling a few dates but carved out a few minutes over the weekend to grab some beautiful images of the family.

It’s quite the challenge getting 6 kids and two adults to all look the same way at the same time, much less take a picture of it.
Ahhh… such is the life I lead. But I love it. I love it because I can’t wait for them to see all their images!
