The Petermanns

Talk about a BIG, BEAUTIFUL family! Ya know, every photo shoot is different, and you never really know what you’re in for til you get going. This extended family shoot was a whole other animal-LITERALLY… in broad daylight a skunk showed up on the scene hoping for a cameo??? Aside from that… things went pretty darn smoothly seeing as how I was shooting my biggest group to date, with SO MANY littles!! Although I do my best to hide it, all photo shoots involving small children are somewhat chaotic. Having said that, when you shoot a large family, it’s sort of a “controlled chaos” if you will. My aesthetic is typically a bit more candid but with larger groups you really just have to wrangle em’ in and pose em’ 😉 . I mean, if I just let 11 small children run free around Busse Woods I can pretty much guarantee I wouldn’t have ever had all 11 in the same shot (not to mention chances are good at least one would’ve been skunked) !?!? 😛

Anywho… shooting all of these peeps was a pleasure. Big families are the best, so much love going around, and with the Petermanns it truly shows! Thanks guys for letting me be a small part of your big, beautiful world!
