THE Goodwin FAMILY
Extended family session IN Northbridge, MA
I met Christy and Mike Goodwin at church and was honored when they reached out and asked me to photograph their family when *almost* all of their children were going to be in town. Mike and Christy are two of the NICEST people you will ever meet and their family is just adorable! It was about 93 degrees and SUNNY at this morning shoot so sweat was literally pouring down my back but it was so worth it to get these adorable photos!!
If you don't know how an extended family shoot works, let me explain: so we start with getting the group shot and I take about a million so that we can get a good one of everyone. Then each individual family gets a few photos, and then of course we have to get some of the grandchildren with the grandparents and we just make sure to get all of the different combinations we can think of! It takes some time, but in the end, I think it is one of the best investments you can make for your family. Getting that group shot alone is worth it, but then everyone basically gets a family mini session too so how can you go wrong??
