The Hill Family | Extended Family Photography Session | Chili, NY

The Extended Family Photography Portrait Session:

I’m thrilled to share with you the heartwarming story of the recent extended family photography session I had the privilege of capturing with the Hill family.

The Hill family holds a special place in my heart. Not only have I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family over the years, but I also have a unique connection with them that dates back to my childhood. We share a bond that’s more than just professional; it’s personal, and it’s full of memories and laughter.

Our story begins with the Hill family’s extended photography session, a gathering that spanned generations. From grandparents to a precious great-grandchild, it was a true testament to the love and unity that binds them together.

As I arrived at the picturesque location they had chosen for our session, I couldn’t help but smile at the familiar faces and warm greetings. You see, I grew up alongside three of the Hill family members, attending the same church and school. It’s amazing to watch the people you’ve known for years grow, start their own families, and continue the legacy of love and togetherness.

The session was filled with candid moments, laughter, and those heartfelt glances that only families can share. We captured the grandparents’ loving smiles as they watched their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild play together. It’s a beautiful thing to see multiple generations coming together to celebrate their bonds and create lasting memories.

One of the things I adore about extended family portrait sessions is the diversity of personalities, each with their unique stories to tell. From the playful banter of the siblings I knew from my childhood to the sweet innocence of the little ones, my camera lens had the privilege of capturing the essence of this remarkable family.

Throughout the session, I made sure to keep the atmosphere friendly and upbeat, allowing everyone to relax and be themselves. It’s in those genuine, unscripted moments that the true magic happens, and those moments are what I love to capture.

Here are some of my favorites from their session!
