big m family sneaky peeky

My awesome sister in law called me last week and asked if I was available to take her inlaw's family pictures! Her mother in law had asked her to find someone to take our pictures and Mandi suggested I do it. I was SO flattered!! I was also nervous when she told me that they wanted them done at 9:00 in the morning at the red hill (dixie rock) My last session there didn't exactly go as planned and we had a TON of bright sun that day! I hoped and prayed that it would be a little overcast that morning so we wouldn't have to hide in the shade! I actually got my wish, but it was also very cold so I felt really bad!! We had to hurry and take jackets off for the pictures and then bundle everyone back up! I thought the pictures turned out pretty well though. It's always a challenge with big groups, not only to position them, but to get pictures where everyone is looking at the camera! (we had like 20 little kids there!)

My brother in law has 6 siblings and they were all able to make it for the photos!

here is a picture with spouses

And the whole gang!!! I'm not quite sure I'm done editing them yet. I have this problem where I edit them, then a few hours later, I go back and decide I don't like the way I did it. I'm going to ask my sister in law what she thinks before I burn the CD's!! (i'm kinda hoping she'll see these!!!)

I also had a little idea. Since it was overcast, and there was lots of gray sky in the background, so I thought about putting in blue sky....here is the result. Thoughts???

We'll see what happens with more editing! I just want to make sure they like the photos!!!
