Large families may be my favorite type of sessions to photograph. There is nothing, in my option, that beats capturing connection and emotion between family members.  When photographing them, it’s always in the back of my mind that we need to make sure to capture the personality of each child as they are so different.  Meet the Christopher family.  As you can tell from this family sunset session, they are each their own individual.  I adored them to pieces. Scroll through them then find a link at the end where you can see highlights of their entire shoot.

Meet Darby:~ 23 The oldest and the leader of this crew. She started reading chapter books in Kindergarten and hasn’t stopped. She doesn’t fit the bookworm mold, though. She is spunky and free-spirited and follows her heart wherever it leads her. Working towards her social work degree with hopes of helping and also exploring the world.

Meet Zoe:  ~ 21 This girl is a mother hen. She is kind and calm and steadfast. She was a great HS athlete and she is an AMAZING big sister. She visits Haiti every year and it stole her heart.
