family for a rainy day

this shoot had been on the books for a long long time. gathering 20+ people, coordinating clothes, schedules, naps, moods, etc can sometimes present disaster for a family picture. i have the easy job when it comes to a family this large. that is, until it rains, and rains, and rains. but thanks to LOTS of good sports, a location change, and umbrellas for props the potential disaster turned into a lot of fun and some really honest and great photos!  each family had an individual shoot as well, but i wanted to share the funny, impromptu photos! thanks schwinds! you guys were a blast!
