After I met and photographed the Arandas a few weeks ago, Allison's mom Nancy contacted me to take photos of the entire family at their family cabin. I convinced my husband to drive me up to the mountains last Sunday, and even though the aspens weren't quite in full fall yellow yet, it's always great to get out of the city for a little while.

I've got to hand it to this family. Organizing seven adults and four kids is never an easy task, but they were fun, kind, and efficient (the kids haven't yet built up their picture taking stamina quite like the adults:)

They were even so kind as to invite us in for lunch with them (unfortunately, we couldn't take them up on the offer with Sunday football on the agenda for the afternoon).

Thank you Connetts for a lovely mountain afternoon. It was so great to meet all of you, and I hope the hot sun and efforts to get the kids to smile didn't wear you out too much. What a wonderful family you have.
