Extended Family Fall Portrait Session ::{ Athens, Georgia Photographer }::

I was tickled pink when I got the chance to photograph these amazing people this fall!  This family right here mean the world to me. Here’s why…

Katie and I have been friends since 2008 and over the years we’ve continued in a friendship that has become something beautiful today.  Time has proven that this girl would do just about anything for me. There have been times where she’s been a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand, a bridesmaid, a comedian, a sidekick, a prayer warrior… you name it! All adding up to the best qualities of a best friend.

When you become friends with Katie, you are immediately adopted into a friendship with her family. Her parents, Marcia and Rob, are the most loving people who always seem to bring a smile to your face with their humorous and genuine personalities.

When Stanley came into Katie’s life, he immediately was a part of our lives as well. The way that the two of them just fit together like a puzzle piece, is evidence that they were absolutely made for each other.  Last year the two of them were blessed with a sweet baby girl named Willow. You may remember me photographing her newborn photos! Moments when that child isn’t smiling from ear to ear are few and far between. She is the happiest little girl I’ve ever laid eyes on. When she looks at you with those big blue eyes and grins her little grin, you just can’t help but fall in love with her. To see Katie and Stanley as parents is such an amazing thing. They are great, I mean GREAT, parents! I am so happy for them!

Can you imagine life without autumn? I can’t. And I could not imagine life without knowing these wonderful people either!

I have worked with Jessica and Robert time after time after time and this time they included their whole family in this delightful fall family session! Photography sessions with your extended family really bring so much more to your portrait experience because it allows you to obtain a wider variety of portraits with the people in your life that mean the most. To have professional-quality moments captured of grandchildren with their grandparents are priceless heirlooms that will be treasured for years to come.

This gang in particular has a way with me. Mostly because they continually keep me giggling all day long! It seriously is a pleasure to just fellowship with them and share a few laughs. Over the years of knowing these folks, there is also one more unifiable trait they all have in common… friendliness. They are some of the most friendly people on the planet. I’ve never had an experience with them that they haven’t loved on me as if I were a part of the family myself.

Oh and if you’re looking for some amazing jewelry, get with Jessica! She is a Stella & Dot hostess and is wonderful to work with when placing your next order! In fact, I think most of the ladies here are rocking their S&D! I ordered jewelry for some family members during Christmastime and the jewelry you get with Stella & Dot is unique, outstanding, and will take your fashion statement to the next level!

I am simply in awe of this sweet family. Each family group all come from different states of this country, and they have all taken the time to come together as one big family to bond and enjoy each others company. They all stayed at a rental house at Lake Lanier for, what I like to call a “staycation.” And obviously they booked a family session while the opportunity was perfect. I’m so glad I got to be a part of their fun time together. Let this be motivation to us all to treasure the moments of life that we never get back and to cherish our family members with all of our hearts, no matter the distance between. Take the time to see your family members and enjoy yourselves in the midst of generations that define where you come from and what’s to come.
