I can understand this, because I live 18 hours from my sweet family, and we, too, are rarely all together at the same time. And when we are, we try our darndest to get a picture. (This usually involves us setting up some crazy distraction (near the camera) for the kids to look at and laugh at. It also involves a whole lot of chaos trying to get everyone ready for a picture, lining us all up, and getting the shot. But... what we have for the rest of the year to love and cherish is a pretty picture. We forget about the chaos it took to get it!
She said they really wanted some bluebonnet pictures, so I scoped out a location, and away we went. The only problem was that Texas decided to be a very (!!) cold and windy 40 degrees that morning (after being 80 degrees the previous days). But we made it happen - shivers and all! Because I knew these pictures were so important to this family, and because that 40 degree windy day just didn't allow people to be comfortable, I did another quick shoot for them at one of my favorite locations a few days later. (When it was 75 degrees!)
Enjoy the cuteness of the M families. I can tell they all have so much fun together.
