Family Laughter

It's 11:33 pm and 11 adults are currently playing Balderdash and laughing to beat the band. I love my family. Once 9 pm hits the drinks, food, and games come out and by the end of the night we have so many good one liners we could write a book. I love sitting back, listening to everyone and what crazy movie plots or acronyms they come up with.

Every year, on my father's side, we pool our Christmas money and rent a beach house for a weekend in exchange for Christmas gifts for individual people. So it's it's my two uncles and their wives and kids. In all there is 14 of us, 4 of those being kids. It's an absolutely blast getting to spend quality time with them instead of trying to buy gifts. 

Earlier today we took family photos and then set up a black background. I'm the official family photographer which can be nice and not so much at times. I love taking photos for everyone, but sometimes the editing afterwards can be overwhelming, but in the end it's so worth it... Many of my best portfolio pieces have come from family vacations. My favorite thing is to take candids of everybody and capture the funny moments. Here are some of the photos from today. I have such a beautiful family!

Hey eyes are stunning. No editing!


So enthralled with the card tricks.


Baby Bears



They are SO beautiful, it's a bit ridiculous.



The Crazy Cousins.


My man.

The parents.










The newest addition!





Enjoy!
