Family Portraits can be rather fun when you have a family that says.. lets be creative.  A large family can be very difficult to be creative with.  I am always looking for ways to make each family unique.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to be creative with lets say 10 people or more?  Just looking for creative ideas that highlight a family not make them look like individuals.  Any help would be awesome.

This little boy has the coolest backyard.  He gets to play on the shores of Lake Michigan with his mom and dad during the summer and in the mountains of Utah.  The day we photographed this young guy it was crazy weather.  After waiting for more than a year to get their portraits taken by Modern Photographics we worked with what weather we had.  The wind and waves were crashing on shore as we photographed the family in the beach grasses.  We did not stay long outside and retreated inside to see how this young man could play.  He even helped daddy play his guitar.  Lily was my assistant for the day and her highlight was the cat.  This cat would do tricks like a dog and acted more like a dog than a cat.  It was awesome.
