I’m a big fan of extended family sessions, and I get to do them several times a year, which thrills me!  Let’s face it– getting everyone dressed and in the same location for photos is basically a miracle.  And for this family, an ocean was crossed in order to make this happen!

I’ve known Alicia (in the blue dress) for several years now.  Her laugh is infectious, and earlier this year I got to watch her and Daniel say ‘I do.’  Getting to meet her family was pretty awesome because they all have that same great sense of humor!  They were also cool, calm and collected, even though it had to have been a stressful day for photos– it was a torrential downpour with dark skies an hour before these photos were taken!  We talked about location changes for weather, and then at the last minute the clouds parted and blue skies appeared.
