Family photo adventure...

It was time to update our family photo for a prayer card.  The whole process was a test of patience as I finished setting up the equipment outside on a hot day, then the weather changed.  I had to shelf my initial posing idea (until next time...) and we quickly hauled light stands, bags, etc. to the top floor attic room in Kilchzimmer.  Not the best pose/positioning but it'll do, considering the situation.  We survived despite one daughter turning white and got sick from the heat, and all of us being entertained with the swelling and color shift of another daughter's hand due to the heat and prolonged sitting (...she was recovering from a shoulder injury).  The heat and long session also made everyone's hair to go limp (except mine!).  They all handled it very well as you can see from the smiles. :-) 

I suspended a white bed sheet behind us then inserted a different background later in Photoshop.
