One of my favorite things about being a photographer is being able to capture the family pictures of our own friends and family! This family is very important to us…..my husbands college roommate and the best man in our wedding. Not to mention an all around SUPER nice guy. His wife and kiddo are pretty great too, of course!

It was also great that Grandma was in town (all the way from the east coast). I absolutely love capturing grandparent portraits with little ones. Some of my most favorite pictures are the ones with my own grandma so I love to create those for other too!

We had their extended family portrait session all planned out……and then it snowed…..a lot! With family in town for the holiday’s, we couldn’t reschedule. But we made the most of it and everyone had such a good time!

The family of three became the family of four!

To make it as easy as possible, we met in their home for their newborn and family portrait session. When you have a toddler, it’s so nice to be home. There is no need to disrupt their food and nap schedules! Right??

I brought all of my gear with me and set up a mobile studio in their dining room. And because we were at home, I was able to capture both posed and lifestyle images!

It was so sweet to see big brother with his brand new sibling!

I don’t offer mini sessions very often but I do typically always offer them to repeat clients! I love it when families come back year after year for their updated family pictures!

And this year their brought the 5th member of their family - their pup! (p.s. - I love pictures with the family dog but I don’t “guarantee” they will turn out. You never know how how an animal will react!)

This family! I first met them for their engagement and wedding pictures. I am continually honored to be their family photographer every year. As you can see……they are expanding!
