{Extended Family} Kevin & Stephanie

Over a year ago, I went to a blogger luncheon...a bunch of people who read each others blogs but had never met in real life (most of us, anyway), and that's where I met Stephanie. She is also a photographer and we had chatted briefly about that, enough for her to remember a year later that I had been getting into the business. Her sister-in-law was coming into town and they were hoping to get some extended family pictures of Kevin's family. Kevin also does photography with Stephanie so there is certainly an element of fear going into a session like this. However, they were both incredibly gracious and told me right off the bat that they were letting me lead the session and put any fears at bay immediately.

The other difference with photographing fellow photographers is that there often is no shortage of photos of their children. So the main focus of this session was the whole family, getting Stephanie in front of the camera with everyone and on her own, and a few different groups of the adults.

It was a beautiful evening at a new location for me, and there were no mosquitoes which was a very pleasant surprise. The low evening sun ended our session with a beautiful glow and some lovely sun flares.

Thank you, Kevin & Stephanie for the honor of photographing your family. It was an enjoyable evening to visit with you, watch your beautiful family interact, and work at the 'fear' of photographing someone else in the business. I hope you like the pictures!
