Lately, this season has been filled with the sweetest full circle moments.
So many families who’ve been in front of my camera since I started my photography journey came back again this fall — some with kids now taller than me!

Every time they return, it reminds me what a gift it is to grow alongside the families I photograph. I am truly grateful for all of them . Watching their stories unfold year after year… that’s the magic of this job. 🤍

Make sure to swipe to see sweet images from one JIP family that I’ve photographed since boys were babies!

This is the time of year when extended families come together… grandparents, aunts, uncles and grandkids all in the same city for the holidays. And of course it means it is the perfect time to get those family photos done too!

Tips for a fun, successful extended family session:
1️⃣ book early! Most photographers are booked in the fall. If you want a date that falls close to Thanksgiving or Christmas, I suggest you book as early as August.
2️⃣ Coordimate outfits! I have said it once and I’ll say it again… the outfits make or break a photo! It’s not about matching… it’s about coordinating outfits that work well together. Choose a color scheme that everyone can work with and you’ll be all set!
3️⃣ plan a shot list. Besides the whole group photo, plan to photograph smaller groups within the family. And since you know your family better than the photographer, it’s best to have a shot list ready with different combinations of family members you want photographed. Bonus points if you send it to your photographer ahead of time.
4️⃣ Have fun! Let your photographer do all the work! All you need to do is relax and enjoy time with your family!

Shoutout to all the mamas who push past all the “not right now” reasons and book the photo session anyway. 💛

There’s always something that makes it feel like the timing isn’t perfect—but those are the moments you’ll look back on and be so glad you captured. Your kids will thank you for it one day, I promise.

Here’s something that might surprise you… I actually get super nervous in front of the camera. Ask me to pose, and it’s a whole mess. And yes—I’m a photographer!

Because I know what it feels like to not feel confident in front of the camera, I’ve learned exactly how to help my clients relax. Most teens these days love the camera, but for the ones who don’t—I make it easy to forget it’s even there. Even the shyest seniors end up having fun!
