Nothing brings me more joy than having the privilege of doing a little lifestyle family photography for the same family multiple years in a row. I photographed the Newton Family in the fall of 2020, and they invited me to return for some backyard family photos once again this year.

Jody and Derek’s daughter, Courtney, reached out to me wanting to gift her parents some adult family photos for their upcoming anniversary. The absolute best idea in my opinion! We met up at Fallbrook Recreation Center in Oswego, NY.

Continuing from my post last week, I was also able to photograph this extended family session! It was actually the same location where Lindsay and Mike got married years ago, on his family’s property! It was such a joy to be able to reconnect with everyone after 3 years for some updated family Christmas photos. I just love the kids’ smiles and giggles interacting with their parents. That’s how I strive to make these family sessions! Memories and love above all else by having fun.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to decorate for the Holidays this year! I think after 2020 we all need extra joy. Lindsay and Mike were one of my first wedding couples back in 2016, and last year they had a daughter last year. It was only fitting to reconnect and take holiday photos for them! I always love getting the chance to create new memories with my couples and their families.

Courtney reached out to me since she had won a 1 hour session from Symphoria. It had just become fall, but the temperatures were anything but fall weather. It was one of the hottest days of September, but we were still able to take pictures of all of them in hockey gear. She’s a self proclaimed “hockey mom,” and I loved their energy!
