I always love it when a large family comes together for a few days to spend time together and make memories and they think of me to capture the moment for them. It’s just such a special thing. This photo session was in the works for a long time and I have to give Julia a lot of credit for expertly managing the whole family’s schedules to make it happen. I just loved this family. Everyone was in Chicago for a holiday from either Oklahoma or Texas…a group of 18…and the love their share for each other was so apparent. They were having a great time, and that happiness was contagious. Thanks so much Danny, Julia, Darci, Dusty, Lindsey, Darah, Caleb, Dallas and Katie for taking time out of your weekend for photos. And the biggest thanks goes to Hallie, Carson, Whitlie, Kyla, Alyssa, Cole, Clayton, Keegan and Alayna for being patient, cooperative, smiley participants and top models. I hope you guys enjoyed your time at the zoo afterwards!
