One of the perks of having 15 years of experience is working out the best ways to get through formal photos quickly. Instead of calling out each and every group individually, we work down from one big group. So we’ll start with Everybody—Cousins, Aunts, Boyfriends, Spouses Kids, then we’ll remove spouses and kids, then we’ll remove cousins, then we’ll remove aunts and uncles, next we’ll remove grandparents, then parents, and siblings. Easy peasy. If you have a BIG group of full family, sometimes it takes a minute to wrangle them all for the big photo but once they are there, they don’t have any other chance to step away and get distracted until we are done with them :P
