So this was definitely the most challenging shoot I've done to date. The lighting was difficult to work with, at best. They were like trying to herd cats. And there was more than one atomic meltdown of one of the kiddos. And did I mention there were TEN people? A tad more than I'm used to... I did my best to find shade for even lighting and good expressions, but there were still highlights and hot spots abound, but I did the best I could. I'm glad I borrowed an SB900 to use for fill, cause in many of the situations my SB600 or 700 wouldn't have had the power. I'm only mildly happy with ONE of the large group shots, but several of the small group shots I thought turned out ok. This was also the most challenging from the standpoint of needing to give much more direction than ever before, and they wanted group shots with specific groups within the family, like mom with daughters, all the girls, grandparents with each of the kids, etc. which got confusing after a while. I should have made a checklist. There are a lot more posed portraits in this set than candid shots, which is not what I'm used to doing. Anyway, it's a little pic heavy, but here are my favorite few. As always, C&C welcome if you're willing, including off the full set. The rest can be viewed here:

9. This was the best group shot, I think.
