When I first contacted Jeannie and she mentioned having an abundance of land to photograph her family on, I was thrilled. Often times, finding a location (especially within Houston) is a struggle. Families of 8 are usually a struggle also. I had my work cut out for me.

When I pulled up to their residence, I had no doubt in my mind that the location was a perfect choice. Their home was cozy and gorgeous with an abundance of perfectly diffused light in their yard.

Once we had convinced Jeannie's husband to step away from the football game, I arranged the family casually and start clicking away, making sure to sweet talk Hudson (that little handsome devil!) into his big beautiful grin.

It's safe to say I overestimated the amount of work that would be required for this shoot! To say this family was easy going would be an gross understatement, they were FUN! They even invited me in afterwards for a glass of wine! It's safe to say I have the best job ever.
