Michigan Memories {Union Pier, Michigan}

I got a call from Janet… “Hello, I would like to know if you do large family portraits…. and when I mean large … like 20 people and two dogs?” I smiled, and answered back oh thats nothing I’ve had larger. We chuckled and talked of a bit but, it wasn’t until I met all her children and grand-babies that I really got to know them well!!! We scheduled our shoot at 9am on July 3rd at Berrien County Beach in, Union Pier Michigan. Everyone was all ready to go with their beachy chic outfits. Clean crisp, blue and white was the memo from Grandma! We first started out with the large family photo and then went to capturing Janet and Larry with all their grandkids and then the immediate family of five. It was the first in a long time that they all could be together as these past few years threw a wrench in vacation plans. All the cousins got to be together and spend quality time outside on the lake. I usually don’t like to write kids names out but I have to share that this crew tops it with their names. Not in order or pointing out anyone but Micah, Levi, Jojo, Naomi, Titus, Asher, Emmy, Reid, Wyatt, Benjamin, Jonathan, Stella. I know they will remember this amazing 4th of July vacation with their family and hang these gorgeous photos up in their lake house forever.
