Tecumseh Park Extended Family Session

Amber and I chatted about this session about a month prior and it didn’t look like things were going to work out. Their family was going to be here in Michigan for Thanksgiving and I was leaving to Ohio – with no overlap. It’s always such a busy time. I was so sad to miss them!

Turned out that everyone was staying one day later than we had originally thought and we got to meet in the morning before anyone flew out that night. So glad everything worked out! It was super chilly, so we were grateful for cars close by as we warmed people up in between groupings. They were super glad to get warm and head for breakfast as soon as it was over – they deserved it!

The lake at Tecumseh Park is called “The Pit”. What? That doesn’t even make sense. It’s so pretty- even in the winter! I was kind of nervous that having trees with no leaves in the background was going to be a little lackluster since only brown sticks would be reflected in the water, but I am so glad that it’s not the case at all. This “pit” is so pretty that it makes everything look beautiful!

I love getting all the family groupings and showing every stage their in. We had it all: the fun and exciting dating stage, the almost having your first baby stage, the 9 month adorable baby cheeks and young parents stage, and the two slightly older kids family stage. It was so fun to pause everyone right now and have it all done at the same time. Everyone was so fun to work with and so willing to freeze for me! ❤️

Hill Family, thank you so much for allowing me to capture these amazing memories for you! Love your family and it was so fun getting to know more of you!

Enjoy this little peek into this beautiful extended family session!

Grass Lake Extended Family Session

I am totally in love with this location! It’s a hidden gem behind Grass Lake High School and just the perfect location. We needed lots of time and the sun was still very high in the sky. The trees were amazing for filtering some gorgeous light and the bridge saved us from the nature below. Many ticks were found just from walking to the parking lot to here. We pretty much stayed in one place just to keep everyone out of the grasses. Luckily, I believe we all came home without any intruders.

This was just a blast to photography so many families. So many fun personalities, so many beautiful smiles, and so chill. We had lots of kid humor going on to try and make the kids think adults are funny. I’m not sure we succeeding in convincing them of our sense of humor, but we got what we wanted, so that means something! Love seeing big families have such a great time together.

To the Spencer’s extended family, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your beautiful families! I loved making crazy noises with you and proving that I’m a crazy person with a camera sometimes. It’s always so fun!
