I got a text proposing an extended family session in honor of Rosemarie's 60th Birthday and with 2 days to prepare, this family showed up and showed out. This simple yet beautiful extended family session is what photography is all about to me. Here's a moment in time for this family. Two more children are on their way this year and it couldn't be a more important and special moment to capture.
