As families grow and get busy with their own lives, it can be difficult to get everyone together at one time. Extended family photos and generational portraits offer the perfect opportunity to reconnect, and capture special memories your entire family will treasure forever!

This past winter, I was contacted by a previous client with a special request. Her mother had always wanted professional photos of all of her children and grandchildren together, and while their family from Michigan was in town for the holidays, they wanted to take advantage of that  opportunity to have them taken! A few days after Christmas we met up at Riverbend Farm, and while winter can sometimes be tricky for outdoor sessions (especially with this years record-breaking winter), we really lucked out with the weather!

“For the holidays, my mom requested professional portraits of her extended family. After having such a wonderful experience with my daughter’s Senior portraits, I immediately contacted Monique! Monique was able to capture all 15 of us in the most natural setting, incorporating our ideas with many of her own.  She took a personal interest in our entire family and it is so apparent when we see the photos. Her photographs captured our family’s story. I could not have asked for a better experience, or more importantly, such beautiful photos that we will treasure for a long time.”­ – Cara B.
