You’ll recognize some key players in this shoot from here, here, and here.
This family is beyond silly. I know this of Phil but put him together with the rest of his family and the real silly comes out. It was a joy to hang out with all nine of them. Thank you!
Now I’m going to tell you something because I believe all photographers should always be learning. And I believe that I shouldn’t contribute to a some sort of unrealistic portrayal of photography that says everything goes right all the time. It doesn’t and experience really does mean something. That’s why I keep shooting.
This shoot was hard. I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t be everywhere and it felt like I could hardly be anywhere well. I’ve photographed large groups before but this was different.
I never want to realize mid-shoot that I’m unprepared but at this shoot I did. What I should have done is taken myself aside. And focused. I didn’t.
Thank you to the Van Zale’s for teaching me some very valuable lessons.
