Beth & Justin have been favorite clients of mine for a long time. They are loyal & return year after year. Honestly, each new session we do is my favorite. This could be because after a few sessions with me you can let your guard down faster, get more comfortable in front of my camera and I truly think of them as friends rather than a business relationship. It’s also great because after all this time it’s very easy to spot any fake smiles and I’ve got to know all the personality quirks- like Alex’s many silly faces. This year Beth told me her husbands brothers were coming in town and they wanted to do an extended family session. I thought it was a great idea. Extended family sessions will always be a yes from me!
We choose McCallum’s Apple Orchard, https://www.mccallumsorchard.com/ as the perfect backdrop for their photos. There was room for all the kids to run and I love supporting other local business’s. If you haven’t been out since Ray and Laurie took over 3 years ago you should check it out. The extensive work they are doing to improve the grounds is impressive. Their sunflower field is starting to open as well. That makes for a fun family outing!
Extended family sessions are a great way to get the perfect mix of photos. We usually start with whole family shots, then break down into individual families, grandkids, cousins, brothers or sisters, you name it. They are the kind of photos you don’t realize you want until you have them in your hands. Sometimes it takes more convincing to get everyone together but I promise it will be worth it.
If your interested in an extended family session with me I would love to talk more and tell you about the many benefits of scheduling one. They are perfect for fall sessions and your holiday cards as well!
