Wow. What a bunch of beautiful people. Left to right: Cherish, Jill, Drayden, Grandma Susie, Clint, Dycen and Chancey. 
Five families in one day. Outdoors. In the summer…in Texas.
Lemme tell ya…that’s a family portrait marathon–with the sweltering Texas summer heat as our lovely backdrop. The crew and I were outdoors for about 6 hours. Or was it 8? Can’t remember. Heat fried my brain. Special thanks to my assistant, Zuri, and also to Ignacio & Martin, who shlepped all the heavy furniture & provided general assistance. Such a helpful crew!
Melinda, these are gorgeous! I love how sharp and clean they are, beautiful lighting! Is the background a sheet outside? I really love how it’s getting some dappled light and shadows with the leaves. Very pretty! I need to hire you to shoot me! 🙂

Kimberly! My sweet friend and colleague! Thanks for the sweet note! I would love to photograph you! The background was actually 4-5 gauzy panel curtains that kept blowing apart, making the background look crazy. A bit of photoshop fixed that. I wish it was a used bedsheet though. That would’ve been hilarious. We need to hang out again. Get some photo buddy time!
