2010, already? wow isn’t it amazing?
Firstly a quick thank you for everyone’s patience. We have just had a week away for some much needed time out. Now back home I am refocused, re-energized and ready for the exciting year ahead. I know it is going to be huge and fun!
Today I had my first official 2010 shoot with this big, extended family. They were all together to celebrate a special birthday for their son/brother/uncle/brother-in-law. I really do have fun with big family groups, and there are always lots of laughs. Today was no exception! Thanks for a great start to the year guys, and I hope the party was fantastic.
Two people meet:

And together they have six children:

And (so far) some have then formed their own families:


Families stay close and you can see the love they share:

And the best thing about a big, extended family? The FUN you all have when you are all together:

what a wonderful way to bring in the new year. I loved your story…your photos speak a thousand words. What a close, beautiful and fun family Susan. Thank you so much for sharing. These are absolutely fantastic!

I think it’s mighty scary that it’s 2010 – and almost half way thru JAN… very scary.
Great session! love the tones!!
Gorgeous gorgeous creamy B&W’s .. such lovely portraiture – a great way to start 2010, and yes, you can see the love.
What a great looking family!
