What better Mother's day gift than to have everyone gather for a few smiles to be captured so mom can fill her frames with all those she loves.  Well, that man up there did that.  He contacted me to book a family session for his beautiful wife....

What I call their "originals".

And then they were lucky enough to add this guy to the tribe....

which means there is a pretty incredible group of people who gather, hopefully more often than just the holidays... to laugh,  smile, and enjoy each other.  

The best smiles came in the in-between moments.  

It takes someone in the clan to organize an extended family gathering.  Getting everyone together at a particular day and time.  No one sick or with unexpected reason to reschedule.  The sun to shine and the wind to not blow too much.  Well, they did it!  Happy Mother's day, Wendy!
