The Bostic Family // Lake Michigan Extended Family Photographer

It’s been a couple years since the Peterson Family was up on the blog and being one of my all time favorite extended family sessions, I was super jazzed to hear that the other side of Stephanie’s family wanted the same treatment! I was even more excited when they booked me for extra time because they wanted mostly candid photos. You definitely want more time if candid is what you are looking for but it also helps to plan to do things that mean something to your family. When the Bostics get together they enjoy Kayaking, sitting around the fire with s’mores and a fun game of tag with a twist… Cooking utensils!

This is what I wish every family session could be. Just hanging out, doing what you love making memories that you want to remember forever. If they were ever having a bad day, I hope they would be able to look at these photos and remember what an amazing family they have.

Thank you Bostics for inviting me into your family I hope these will always make you smile.

Behlert Family // Cincinnati Family Photographer

I met Katie and Brent in college and because of the internet, have been able to keep in touch after all of these years. Back in 2012 I visited them in Grand Cayman and took some photos of them there. Even after all these years, I am still super proud of that session. You can see it HERE.

Then they had a baby and Ryan and I went down to Cincinnati to do newborn photos of Gio and again, even though they are on our old blog, I still really love the photos.

This time we came down to photograph Katie’s whole extended family and it was so much fun. There’s lots of kids and chaos which is just how we like it! There are 4 girls in her family which is fun to see especially since we are expected a sister for Grace! They are so lucky to all live in the same city and be so close with one another! We loved capturing the amazing love they family share!

VanTimmeran 10 Year Anniversary & Extended Family // Little Sable Point Lighthouse Photographer

Sometimes it’s easy to forget to have pictures taken of yourselves when doing extended family photos. We always try to get each family and some candids but Christine had us split the time so they could have photos taken for their 10 year anniversary which I thought was a great idea!

We had our 10 year photos taken this past summer and it was so much fun. Hopefully I’ll actually post some of them once I get a free day :) 10 years is such an accomplishment and I think everyone should embrace it with photos just having fun together at this time of our lives.

We shot these at Little Sable Point Lighthouse which isn’t that far from where we live but somehow we’ve never been up that way. It’s so lovely! Pretty much anything we do anywhere north of us is incredibly beautiful. Michigan is just crazy beautiful in the summer!

OK BYE. ADIOS. THE END.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
