One of my favorite things about this portrait session came to me before I even photographed this awesome family of 10! My client completed their portrait questionnaire in such a thorough way, that I knew this was going to be a special photo session.

Dad has 8 children, some local to the Jacksonville and the beaches area, and some as far abroad as St Thomas! They are not always together so they wanted to take this opportunity of documenting their summer at the beach. What a terrific excuse for a family photo session!

I document children and families for a living, but I have to say this is easily the most cooperative and loving group I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The love they share for their brothers and sisters, for their Dad, for each other, it's truly inspiring. 

Read on to view their short family film and check a sample wall gallery configuration I've put together based on a few of our favorites from their session!

Be sure to stay tuned later this summer when I photograph their real life install in their home!
