We met the Marchal family at their cabin in Gatlinburg on a day much cooler than this recent heat wave, and we led them to one of our favorite spots to shoot in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They had come together from as far away as Florida and Michigan. For some of the kids, it was their first time meeting each other, and for the proud grandparents, it was a chance to be with their whole crew at once. It's such a great idea to capture stages in a family's history like this. These pictures will not only be a treasure from a fun vacation in the mountains, they will serve as a piece of family history. --Joshua
