First "real" family photo shoot

As part of the online photography class I'm taking, my assignment this week was to prepare a shot list (proposed poses) and then find some subjects to be photographed. The Skousens were so great to work with and I felt really good about my first shoot even though I didn't remember to check ALL the details as far as the composition of the shots went all the time and even though I probably should have taken more pictures to ensure that all 6 sets of eyes were open in some of the shots. Because Dan is the manager over the orange groves, we used the Doxey Grove and the bright red barn with its white door for our location.
