Naperville Photographer, Burr Ridge Photographer | extended family

Summer and holidays are definitely the time for families to get together, making for a perfect time to have some extended family portraits.  When is the next time you will have all of the cousins together?  When was the last time the grandparents had a great picture of all their grandchildren together?  I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely extended family recently.  There are four adult siblings and their respective families, and this session was mainly for their parents as a gift.  Three of the families live in the Naperville area, but the other was in town from out of state.  We had a beautiful day, but when you have little ones, things are always a bit chaotic.  We had two infants, three little kids, a big kid, and two tweens.

Here is the entire group together.  Quite a good looking crew, right?  And what a great color palette with the navy, grey, and yellow.

 

And here is another of the whole group.

 

Then of course we did the break outs of the individual families.  So easy when the kids are this age.

 

What a little ham this baby was!

 

Unfortunately, their little one had a drastically swollen, red eye on this day.  She simply woke with it, and it was severe.  I edited it out as best as possible, but she just wasn’t feeling her best on this day.

 

This family also brought a change of clothing for some of their pictures.  I adore bright pink and green together!  Their little three month old was all tuckered out.

 

We also did pictures of the siblings together.  I just love this one, as they were really laughing.
