The Cranford family’s holiday session was pure chaos in the best way. With five kids and a whole lot of energy, we didn’t worry about stiff posing or making everyone sit still. Instead, we just let them pile in for a massive group hug and captured the real, loud laughter that happens when a family of seven actually gets to have fun together. The classic red outfits and plaid looked killer against the mossy trees, making for photos that feel festive but totally honest.

Since they’re local to the area, Central Park Windermere was the perfect spot to keep things easy and close to home. The park gave the kids plenty of room to just be themselves while keeping that timeless Florida backdrop. For more ideas on how to coordinate colors and textures for a big group without looking “matchy-matchy,” you can find endless inspiration on Pinterest.
