One of my bucket list shots is shooting a huge family reunion event, documentary style. One with all the first and second cousins, uncles, aunts, grandmas and grandpas, and all the little babies and newest additions to the extended family. Unposed. Super natural. I don’t come from a very big family, and I’ve always craved having that type of extension to my own nuclear family. Man, it would have been awesome. My sons, though, will have that God willing, so I am excited to live vicariously through them :)
When S reached out to schedule a shoot while her mom and sisters visited from Saudi, you can bet I was super excited. Her baby B is the first grandchild in the family, and is super loved. I can’t blame them really, he’s got a heart of gold <3
