K Extended Family Photo Session

I had the pleasure of photographing one of these families last fall, so I was excited to meet the rest of dad’s side of the family for an extended family photo session.  We met at the park and started with some more formal family shots at a favorite spot that is a path in the woods that seems to go on forever.  Then we moved over to the lake and had fun exploring the area.  There were canoes there too, so of course we had to take advantage and use one as a photo prop!  I love the irony of that shot, because you’d never actually have THAT many people in one canoe.

Karis, Chris, James and John because they’re 1!

This session has been on my calendar for a while, and after rescheduling once due to colds, I was excited to finally meet these boys and their family.  They were very serious during our session, but especially enjoyed rolling around and playing in the leaves and dirt.  Mom and dad were cool and calm as the boys explored, and I got to capture their playing at the park.  Happy birthday boys!

I have been in love with this family’s photo session from start to finish.  Mom contacted me because they recently moved into a new home and wanted to commemorate the occasion with some family photos in their new ‘hood.  When I arrived, I was blown away by the lovely light filtering through the trees in their front yard, so of course, we spent a great deal of time there photographing it from every angle!  And these kids were just delicious as they loved on each other and their parents as I obsessed over the light.  We finished our session in the backyard on their new swingset!  And when I say start to finish, I mean I have been drooling over these photos as I’ve finished the edits on my computer and am super excited to finally be sharing them. It was a pleasure working with you P family, and I hope to get you in front of my camera again soon!

CZ and Family: Extended Family Photo Session

This session has been in the works for a long time, and this Spring, while this family was all together, we finally made it happen!  After some initial confusion about which spot in the park would be best to begin our session, we froze time as this family enjoyed each others’ company.  It can certainly be challenging to get such a big group looking in the same direction or interacting so they’re not looking at me (and I can still see all of them), but this group did just that and they rocked it!
